PwC People Analytics Training

To prepare for the future of work and become a success in a digital world, upskilling is key.

Turn insight into foresight

The PwC People Analytics Training is a one-day program in which you will use state-of-the-art data analytics tools and techniques to create actionable insights based on your workforce data. It aims to inspire a new way of thinking to find innovative ways to identify risks, opportunities, to surface value from people data, and to communicate the results in an attractive and efficient manner. Additionally, the program has a game element: the 'People Analytics Game', where participants get to practice their new skills in competition! 

After this training, you will be able to...

  • Apply the ‘myth busting’ concept to your HR challenges and identify People Analytics use cases to transform your organisation
  • Use main data manipulation techniques in Python and create impactful dashboards in Power BI
  • Strongly deliver your data message with storytelling tips (‘So What’)
  • Continue developing your organisation’s retention use case based on what you built in this training

Our hands-on training focusses on one of the current biggest business challenges around the workforce: employee retention. Employee retention has become a top priority for HR professionals for years and the current ‘Great resignation wave’ only amplifies the need for deriving quality insights from turnover data. People tend to make assumptions about their workforce and why employees resign. Often decisions are based on those unvalidated assumptions and rather on ‘gut feeling’. But to make truly evidence-based decisions it is essential to let the data speak for itself!

In this training, we will teach you how to test your assumptions on turnover with data and how develop relevant retention models based on a practice dataset. Depending on your technical expertise, we will also cover predictive and prescriptive scenario-modelling which allows you to proactively assess the impact possible preventive actions. We also train you in visualising the analytics results you created and turning them into actionable retention insights, using the concept of ‘myth busting’.
