HR Management and Analytics: Unlock the Value of Human Capital
Accelerate your growth as a strategic HR professional
You cannot manage what you do not measure
Human resources (HR) has been moving from an administrative function to a role that contributes directly to business performance. As organizations increasingly recognize people as their most valuable asset, HR leaders are called on to manage talent effectively while also applying analytics to inform decisions on recruitment, retention, performance evaluation, collaboration, and workforce development.
Led by world-renowned Wharton faculty, the HR Management and Analytics: Unlock the Value of Human Capital program is a two-month online learning journey that combines advanced data techniques with managerial frameworks across seven modules. Participants explore approaches that help distinguish skill from luck, interpret noisy performance measures, and identify biases that affect decision making. The program also addresses how to unlock the value of human capital and position HR as a strategic partner in driving organizational performance.
