A truly outstanding event has speakers characterized by 3 things ENERGY ∙ PASSION ∙ CONTENT above all else. We keep it that way.

PEER NETWORKING
  • This is a BIG event by head-count, yet it is “small enough” for everyone to be in the same room at all times. You will have an all-day access to all the speakers and your fellow delegates.

WHY PEOPLE ANALYTICS?

What exactly is the big deal about this whole concept of People Analytics, also known as Workforce Analytics (aka HR Analytics)...???

The story starts with a simple fact – you cannot ignore digitalization and stay competitive in business, let alone be a market leader in any business. We live in a world where a smartphone app can change the market landscape in a matter of weeks. Love it or hate it – you can’t ignore it. Improved workforce productivity and performance, enhanced employee experience and wellbeing, and better HR reporting at a strategic level, are essential to the success of organizations and their ability to survive, now and in the decades to come. All this comes at a time when talented and highly skilled employees are not just becoming harder to recruit and retain, but actively rethinking their desired relationships with employers.

So, the HR has to go digital; and as organizations look to cope with these changes, they are embracing the workforce analytics at ever greater pace. These analytics can be used to improve workforce productivity, enhance employee experience and wellbeing, and increase the impact of HR overall. Undoubtedly, workforce analytics is central to the future of HR, as it lies at the heart of initiatives to personalize the employee experience, optimize organizational design and improve team collaboration and effectiveness.

Now, that is – by any accounts – a pretty big deal. And the good news is:

The Future of HR is here

Empowering HR with People Analytics for Success in Digital Economy

Most organizations still operate in hierarchical 2.0 mode, while the modern HR has reached the 4.0 stage. The HR 4.0 now has the capability to influence business decisions, by providing data-based, timely and exact business insight. The HR 4.0 can provide the CEO and other C-level decision-makers with data-based facts to make the key business decisions, instead of relying on the “gut-feel”. People Analytics brings the paradigm shift in how business decisions are made, how risk is evaluated and ultimately what business impact an organization will have. We are no longer talking about the need to have HR at the table in l'art pour l'art HR terms. People Analytics finally gives the HR that truly strategic role... and a seat at the table.

This conference series and subsequent Masterclasses bring you the blueprint on how to successfully implement HR Analytics at strategic and tactical/ops level. You will hear real-life examples form the giants like Amazon, as well as some of the World's leading academic and business minds in the field, presenting data-based facts & figures, trends & tendencies for the near, mid and long-term outlook of the Future of Work.



Technology is changing the world of work and big data plays a key role in the process. Sorting out the “ocean of information” is the game-changer. HR analytics is not yet-another-hype, but a trend that is growing and is here to stay. It is increasingly becoming the “way we do things around here”. If you don’t have the right data – you are uninformed. If you have too much of unsorted data – you are overwhelmed. As a busy HR person, you can’t afford either. The quality of your decisions has a direct and lasting impact on your organization. The HR analytics provide a solution to that challenge.

HR & PEOPLE ANALYTICS FORUM WARSAW is a conference dedicated to presenting, understanding and embracing the use of data-driven analytical approach in HR function, and business as a whole. The data-driven decision-making process is recognized as the key differentiator in today’s workplace, giving companies who apply it properly a substantial edge.

∙ People Analytics done differently
∙ Non-tech based approach
∙ Lessons learned along the way
Overview:
Trimble is into People Analytics for the last 18 months and we believe we went thru our journey in an unique way. We were not focused on building metrics and dashboards. Instead we focused on collecting questions and answering them with good evidences. We partnered with HR leaders in solving specific organization problem.

∙ What is passive data?
∙ What passive data can tell you about employees?
∙ Passive data vs active data
∙ Business outcomes - is all that analytics worth the money?

Overview:
People are usually 50-70% of the bottom line costs of the entire companies. Good personnel decisions are not only a matter of development, but often a matter of market survive. It is up to HR departments and related analytical departments to recommend good decisions. This require to become more data-driven than ever.

HR Analytics departments need to develop ways to get reliable data and learn the basics of their interpretation. Passive data can be very helpful in this field. Transformation, which passed sales and marketing departments, also waits for HR people. It is good to know in advance what opportunities technology offers and what results are achieved by Polish pioneers.

Key take-aways:
1. Passive data can broaden the possibilities of HR analytics
2. Identify the fundamental drivers of value - traditional metrics usually does not cover the whole picture
3. Use different data sources to confirm your hypothesis

Overview:
Employer branding is a complex construct that requires integrating different actions and metrics through the entire candidate-employee lifecycle. How to overcome this challenge when shaping the attrition and retention strategy, setting KPI and measuring the effects? Can it be based on single measures? Should we benchmark towards the other brands? How to integrate the people data to employer brand strategy?

Presentation focus:
· The importance of organization design and its elements
· How do managers distort corporate “space-time”
· HR's role in business development and enhancement of organization's performance
· The objectives and the priorities of organizational audit
· The structure and the process of organizational audit

Overview:
There are two key questions for every HR professional. The first is how much of a role of a strategic partner you currently hold and how much leadership you provide in strategy execution and business development through human and organizational development activities. The second is how satisfied you are, professionally and personally, with the current state of affairs. The hypothesis of this presentation is that by raising their expertise in the field of organization design, HR professionals will magnify their influence in their organizations and increase their impact in strategy formulation and execution, and, consequently, improve the organizations’ bottom line. Organizational audit is an integral part of the organizational design and is used to analyze alignment between three levels of planning and decision-making: strategic, tactical and operational with three levels of organizations: organizational, process and human. Organizational audit will equip HR professionals with more profound understanding of the dynamic complexity of their organizations, help them identify causes of business issues and consequences of potential actions, as well as train them to apply systems thinking and judgment realizing organizations’ links and loops.

Key take-aways:
1. Organizational audit – Powering the HR role through Organization design
2. HR, in addition to top management, is the only function with competences and incentives to monitor the whole system
3. Organizational audit is the great first step in understanding the complexity and value of the organization design

Speaker: Dr. Fran Mikulicic, MBA, PhD · Organization Design Thought Leader

Presentation focus:
· Roles and capabilities our team started with (what we had and what we should have focused on as well)
· In an ideal world... (what we thought we would work like, our initial goals)
· Things you should never do in this area: the way we failed... (key learnings about our audience, community building, user experience, business maturity and politics)
· ...just to learn how to pick ourselves up. Learning from the bests, taking one step back in complexity – optimizing HR analytics to better suit our audience and business needs
· How are we helping the business now to achieve its most important goals? (strategic workforce planning, recruitment and talent management, L&D, diversity, etc.)

Overview:
I will present Diageo's 3-year long journey in people analytics with a special focus on the key learnings for anyone who wants to start this area, in a multinational company. The questions I would like to answer and the areas of focus will be:

What we did well and where we failed on our journey?
How to start this function with a small group of 2 or 3 people?
Areas you might need to focus on at the very start that are rarely mentioned but highly important.
How you can build credit and seize the momentum within HR?

Key take-aways:
1. You don't need a big team to have big impact on a company's HR processes
2. Do not over complexity at the start: key capabilities, processes and data
3. Educating the business is crucial - train the HR function as you progress and seize the momentum

Speaker: Gyorgy Kovacs · Lead HR Analytics Analyst · Diageo

Presentation focus:
∙ How to get started with People Analytics?
∙ Common misconceptions about People Analytics
∙ Success stories and their ingredients
∙ Exercises to do with your management

Overview:
Let’s start with People Analytics… That’s easily said. But making People Analytics a success is a complete different story. For example, what capabilities need to be in place? And no, People Analytics is not only about data science. What about storytelling competencies, business sensitivity, experience with various software packages, knowledge about the coming General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), consultancy skill, a strategic level of thinking… oh, and great social skills of course. Not to forget about in-depth HR knowledge. Well, superman does not exist. So how do you make sure you have these capabilities in place? Do you collaborate, do you develop these capabilities yourself, do you hire them, do you acquire them? Which knowledge, skills, and attitudes needs to be developed? And where do the gaps lie? In this session, Dr. Sjoerd van den Heuvel from the University of Applied Sciences Utrecht, will share some key-lessons learned from teaching professionals from Surinam to Malaysia in People Analytics. Are there differences in the struggles organizations and professionals experience? And what then are the common keys to success? Are you ready to be (even more) successful in People Analytics?

Key take-aways:
1. Start at the right and don't think about people
2. Grab a pencil, and start drawing
3. Practice with bedtime stories, the rest will be easy


Speaker: Sjoerd van den Heuvel, PhD. · Research Fellow · University of Applied Sciences Utrecht

Presentation focus:
· findings from a global survey of HR, Finance and non-HR colleagues about the impact of people analytics.
· explores the skills, confidence, technology and functional barriers to effective people analytics.
· explores regional differences in people analytics practice, highlighting global and regional trends in skills, confidence and utility.
· highlights the growing people analytics agenda and the importance of continued investment in people analytics practice by HR and senior leaders.

Overview:
CIPD conducted a global survey of HR, finance and other non-HR functions to explore how people analytics practice is evolving. The study explored the skills and confidence of HR professionals, and the perspectives of non-HR business leaders on their HR functions. Survey found growing interest in people analytics in the HR function, but a greater need to integrate across functions to develop impact through people analytics data. Recommendations call for HR leaders to champion the development of HR skills, and to integrate across functions to develop data-science capability. Recommendations also call for HR to integrate concepts of "people risk" into people analytics, to understand short, medium and long-term people risks using people data.

Key take-aways:
1. Data visibility and transparency are key for non-HR professionals if they're to utilize people insights in their decision making.
2. People analytics culture is critical for good people analytics outcomes. This includes ensuring leadership uses data in decision making, and engages the workforce on the value and importance of people data.
3. People analytics has potential globally; just over 50% of HR/people professionals say they have ready access to people data. More can be done to promote skills, access and use of people data in HR decision making.

Feedback & Insights

what people say

Nebojsa Biskup General Manager ∙ ManpowerGroup
Conference really fulfilled my expectations, listening to speakers, their stories, their experiences, but also exchanging with colleagues. Asking them questions, how they've sold difficult situations, made decisions upon them. I really learned a lot from delegates, not only from speakers.
Mihaela Smadilo CHRO ∙ Oradian
It’s a really good intended conference, I had an opportunity to talk to many attendees and what I’ve really enjoyed is hearing new speakers. A lot of conferences feature all the same speakers, but here we got both global and a local perspective of the speakers from the CEE region.
David Green Founder & CEO ∙ Zandel
Here in Budapest it's fantastic! The environment is quite cool, I heard so many new things today, but I also saw some old friends in the filed, so it's also a great place to network. Here you get new perspectives, you learn from other people in the field and you build up your network.

I really love teaching. Whenever I can share my knowledge and expertise, that we gained doing hundreds of projects, I really love to share that. For me that’s really important. The number of people at this conference, both attendees and speakers is really fascinating!

FAQs

Why not? :-)

As the capital city of the largest economy in the CEE region, Warsaw is an ideal place to host an international event of this size and caliber. Besides, it is the very first conference dedicated specifically to People Analytics & the Future of Work, in Poland.

The conference starts with opening keynotes, followed by 8 corporate & expert presentations in TedTalk style. Each speaker has roughly 20 minutes for the speech + brief Q&A with the audience. The last speech of the day is the closing key-note. Altogether, there is a conference chair's address key-note, 2 other key-notes, closing key-note and 8 corporate cases presented throughout the HR & PEOPLE ANALYTICS FORUM, making it a total of 11 speeches. There are also two plenary panel-discussion - one in the morning and another one in the afternoon part of the program.

On the contrary! It is ideal duration. Frankly speaking - by allowing only 20-minute talks, we motivate speakers to deliver a focused message and showcase what they have accomplished with a particular project or initiative. This way we filter out the “blah-blah part” of “let me tell you about our company first…”.

Yes, just drop us an email to info@peopleanalyticsforum.eu

Due to the international format of the conference, English is the official language.

Truth is we don't believe in dress-codes, so wear whatever you feel best suits you. If you like suit & tie, that's fine, but so are jeans. Our motto is "feel comfortable, while being elegant".

If your group is 5 or more people, drop us a quick email to register@peopleanalyticsforum.eu
