This online event is brought to you in partnership with HRNZ and the IO Psychology Special Interest Group (IOSIG)
Vincent Cassar and his colleague's research aimed to understand how professionals use data, especially big data, to make decisions. They believe that having skills in data analysis helps make better decisions and adds more value to their job. The study looked at the challenges practitioners face in becoming more data-driven. Two main obstacles emerged: first, some see HR as a caring rather than a strategic role, and second, many lack the ability to use data predictively, which means using data to foresee outcomes rather than just describing past events.
Now, the research team are conducting a larger quantitative study to assess the pathways developed and hence will be able to decide which elements are more likely to predict HR professionals' likelihood to use data analytics.
In this session Vincent will share this study’s latest insights.

Due to the time of this event, we will be recording it for those who can not attend the 'live' session.
