HR Analytics: The What, Why and How... Paperback – October 23, 2013

I ordered the paperback book and used the kindle match on amazon to purchase the kindle book for $2.99. I just finished the kindle book, 2 days after purchasing! I believe that says a lot about the book. I enjoyed reading it and the information was very well organized. The author has a very clear and concise writing style which is very much appreciated for an analytical book where concepts can easily become unclear. Thank you!

Analytics is a buzzword, but the author does a good job staying away from consulting-speak and focusing on the elements that make up and will determine the success of your analytics endeavors. She seamlessly weaves in workforce planning and other hot topics to show that analytics can materially impact how you approach HR. Would have loved some case studies or an action plan.

I was looking forward to the read... And was very disappointed.Indeed the book barely brushes on the topics, does not provide any insights that are truly actionable. Also, most of the HR challenges that are used as examples are out of date in the sense that (which the author agrees) they are changing very fast. Using old fashioned examples to demonstrate the value of something that helps organizations in the future creates a impression of lack of insight and research.There are also here and there mistakes about HR and the current trends in tech. Most companies are not really aiming at having analytical departments nowadays. Instead they are focusing on putting in place tools that will allow the business to make its own analysis based on their needs. And truly that is the point.I will look for another source to learn more...

This book is a great foundational book about HR Analytics. If that is what you're looking for, you will not be disappointed.

This book was exactly what I was looking for as I am begining to get into HR analytics. Its simplistic and very easy to digest.

Terrible book, do not waste your time. I felt like she was talking down to me the whole time. Spend your money on a book that will actually provide information.
