Last week, I participated in a lunch and learn hosted by our
data analytics manger. His project is to provide relevant data to Human
Resource Professionals within State Government. The main goals of using
analytics are to drive the mission, find priorities, and analyze the impact of
HR within the business. Allowing data analytics to show us quick wins in
business processes allows us to reach these goals. These quick wins answer
smaller questions such as turnover rate or find correlations between factors
such as distance from work and retention. The quick wins don’t necessarily
dictate projects, but they do influence choices. Moving forward, we want to use
our HR data to forecast future trends which will allow us to become more
proactive. This allows us to refine processes to improve the Indiana State
Personnel Department as a whole. The better processes we have in place, the
more efficient the HR staff will become. Gaining this data is a way to accurately
measure the successes of the HR team. We are proving our worth one drill down
at a time. We must remember to always have a benchmark to measure our success,
as a number is only worth as much as its relativity. It was a joy to sit in
this meeting, as I am always looking for ways to grow and improve.
