Excellence in People Analytics: How to Use Workforce Data to Create Business Value

The book written by two outstanding authors who have been in the business for quite a few years is bundled with facts, with research (albeit quite a few that the authors have written), and great examples of how other organisations have approached People Analytics.The only thing that I think needs improvement on this are the diagrams/graphs... some seem random and felt that it was required by the editor to break up the text in the book. Overall, i would recommend as an introductory book!

This book will become the new reference for how to do people analytics. Lot of great ideas and concepts. The cases are well explained and help illustrate how they can be implemented with success.Must read for anyone interested by the subject.
