HR’s Guide To Big Data For Dummies

You’ve heard the hype: Big Data is taking over the business world, and HR’s going to be expected to make decisions—not through feelings, relationships or gut instinct—but via numbers. The problem is… your HRIS, ATS and Performance Solutions are all different systems and weren’t built with the big-data revolution in mind. In short, you feel less than ready for workforce analytics—you’re just trying to get the basic reports generated.

We feel your pain, people. That’s why our June installment of the FOT webinar is entitled, HR Moneyball: The FOT Bootstrapper Guide To Getting Started With Big Data. Join Steve Boese and Kris Dunn of FOT for this webinar (sponsored by ThoughtSpot, a cool business intelligence startup), and we’ll share the following goodies with you:

We’ll also talk about what your options are when HR is the last priority for an over-burdened IT function.

Why HR pros need to shift/lean forward. It’s not what happened, it’s what going to happen.
