Predicting Business Success - by Matt Betts & Shane Douthitt & Scott Mondore & Hannah Spell (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

We know HR practices have a significant impact on an organization's bottom line, but too often HR leaders fail to demonstrate direct connections to the business metrics that matter most to executives. Predicting Business Success goes beyond the usual slicing and dicing of HR data to show HR professionals how to definitively connect the dots between people data and business outcomes with a straightforward approach for scaling analytics to all leaders and all levels, detailed strategies for collecting key data elements and making talent profiles predictive, and proven guidelines for harnessing data for selection and recruitment, onboarding, employee surveys, training needs, and much more.
