Session 1
Utilizing HR Metrics and Data to Communicate Priorities to your Senior Leadership Team
This interactive session is broken down into three main part:
1. Building the strategic business plan, in which we explore how to structure the project to address the needs of your internal clients--upper-level executives; EVPs/VPs; facility managers/directors; and team/project leaders--so that the project speaks to them
2. How to understand your organization through pivot tables, in which we roll up our sleeves and explore how to re-form the data you already have to truly enlighten, inform, and measure success
3. Building the business case for diversity, in which we help answer the question why, from a business perspective, do we want to not only be seen engaging in diversity and inclusion efforts, but more importantly why those efforts need to be real and meaningful to get the most return on investment (not just a paperwork exercise, not just a PR "stunt")
The key take-aways for the audience are:
- It will likely be easier to "sell" initiatives to your executives if they are supported by data and analytics
- MS Excel pivot tables are an extremely powerful (and extremely easy) way to get a better understanding of your organization (and is a tool you already have)
- Diversity initiatives can take on many different looks, and many of them should be driven by sound evidence and supporting data. Diversity in the top teams, and overall within an organization, is best achieved through dedicated programs that focus on specific goals
- There is a wealth of research indicating that diversity (and not just gender or race/ethnic diversity) is absolutely related to tangible, measurable, business success
