If you have an analytics role within HR Ops, you’ve, no doubt, got requests coming at you all the time and you are juggling many responsibilities.
Three of the biggest are:
Crunching data, and along with this data credibility, quality, validity
Pulling data together, analyzing and visualizing the data (this is the “data + judgement = problem solving” space)
Communicating with your different stakeholders (storytelling).
We can probably all agree, number 1 is the biggest time sink, the least fun, and the one area that you’d be better to hand over to someone else. Just think, without the heaviness of data crunching and manual manipulations, how much time you could spend at the value-add levels of 2 and 3. We’ve got the balance all wrong.
