About the Course

With advances in technology and cloud computing, there are now numerous data sources available to guide decision-making and drive organizational success. Harvesting the right kind of data requires that HR teams possess strong analytical skills; high-performing HR teams know that their function is to leverage data as a “decision science” by identifying metrics and data sources that deliver organizational insights. In order to do so, HR must ensure that metrics and measures are used effectively to achieve strategic goals. This course focuses on identifying effective data sources, developing meaningful metrics, designing long-term measures, and applying results in support of organizational strategy and tactics....

I didn't gain any practical knowledge on the subject matter. It was only theoretical which made it mundane. Also, this course is good for thise people who have had prior work experience. Not recommended for freshers as you won't be able to relate to the information.

Human resource analytics is a critical component of human resource management. It is a well-designed course that will provide you with in-depth knowledge of data analysis using the metric system.

This course is more about HR Metrics than analytics. Recommended reading is very inspirational, the course itself, not as much. Also, it would be nice to get an intro video from the tutor explaining the course structure as it is different to the previous courses I have taken on Coursera. Anyway, you can make your own opinion. Happy Learning! ;-)

Great course. But would have liked to have activities that helped to cull data, calculate metrics, develop analytics and derive insights about a business case.

0 stars. This is just a collection of sources to read through that you could easily find on your own and which would be more recently updated. Half of the sources it directs you to either don't exist or it takes you to LinkedIn learning which is not free, so you'd have to pay twice for the same content, or else just stick to LinkedIn. Big waste of time, glad I only audited this course rather than pay for it.

This is a good course for someone already within the HR industry starting to think more about strategy but are still in an execution role. This is not an instructor lead class. It's links to online articles and then powerpoint with a voice over. Also, I was frustrated with the somewhat misleading quiz questions/answers that actually contradicted what was said in the presentation or inadequately summarized the material leading to less than clear best answer.

A nice overview of the subject, introduced important basic concepts and prescriptions. Would have been useful to have a bit more instruction on how to complete some of the concepts that were mentioned. Being able to clearly understand the steps involved in running a variable regression analysis for example would have been of value. Over all the course was of benefit, though it lacked a bit of rigor.C

definitely it was a great knowledge for the person like me who was keen to learn those details in the process of analytics especially for hr, as it really gave me a wider vision to even look at the HR field more sensitively and liked the learning what it bought to me via this course. Thanks Coursera for such opportunity!!

The Pros: The course was simple to navigate. The slides were easy to understand and didn't have a bunch of extra unnecessary info. I love that this course was easily attainable in a short amount of time, as I'm a person in the middle of a career change.

The Cons: This is probably preference, but the videos were a bit longer than other courses I've taken. Not by much, they were less than 20 mins per video. I find that it tricks the mind if you chop those videos in half to more chewable chunks (but that's just me). The questions at times were a bit difficult to understand, particularly the ones that ask the question in reverse (ie "what is NOT an example of...). And some of the answers were so similar that you think it could be either, or a couple of the answers could BE the correct answer (if you're someone like me, who is trying to pick the correct answer, and saying in your head "well technically..."). When you take the quiz, they give you feedback on each answer, but sometimes after reading the feedback on the answers you missed, you're still sitting there like, "ok, what's the answer then?" And a couple of them, I still don't know the answer to. If you have to retake the test, don't blaze through it, because although the questions were in the same order, the answer order was switched up, so pay attention to that.

Tips: Read the articles/watch the video she gives you as the supplemental information! I thought that it was just extra reading that you could ALSO read in your leisure time, but a good deal of the answers are in those articles! And they actually weren't that bad of articles, very simple to get through that you can read in like 5 mins.

The answers as they relate to the questions on the knowledge checks, appear off and unnecessarily difficult. Also after all of the work that I'd completed, my name is not even on the certificate.

Good course with fundamentals of HR analytics clearly described. Instructor has worked hard in designing the course with relevant readings, videos and study materials. Method of instruction and way of teaching the concepts are easy to understand and relate. Coursera is doing wonderful job by bringing lot of relevant courses under one umbrella. Its a choice based teaching-learning process. One can choose from entire gamut of courses.

This course is superb. It makes you see how HR is impact or can impact the over all business goals. It has opened my eyes to activities that takes chunk of my time but contributes very little to goals of the company. I recommend this course any HR professional who wants to be taken serious.
