Chapter/SIG Workshop: People Analytics In Action!
UPDATE: DUE TO COVID-19 PRECAUTIONS THIS SESSION IS NOW 100% VIRTUAL. The suggested log on time is 5:45 PM with the workshop starting promptly at 6:00 PM.
People analytics, learning analytics, --heck any and all types of analytics are all the rage. Why is this such a hot trend? How do organizations use data analytics in a people and talent context?
Find out at this exciting hand-on "meta" workshop where we will create data and then learn how to analyze it in real time. This is NOT a simulation! We will be collecting and using real member data to help us strategize ways to provide more value to ATD NYC members.
Member registration is now open. Non-member registration opens on March 4.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
This workshop places a particular focus on how to use technology to extract meaningful data, themes, and insight from information gathered as text (such as comment boxes on feedback forms and surveys), i.e. "Natural Language Processing." What does natural language processing have to do with HR? How do computers and machines understand the complexity of human language?
People Analytics SIG Co-Lead Sy Islam and Lyndon Llanes will help answer these questions and more in this live and interactive workshop that leverages your participation to build a data set and validate results. We'll be taking live data gathered from a short survey to help us make real changes to how ATD NYC strategically plans its content and design for YOU. We'll take your input from questions like "What type of sessions do you prefer?" and review the preliminary themes with topic modeling, bag of words analyses, etc.
This workshop covers:
-
how machines translate words into data
-
the difference between unstructured and structured models of classification
-
the impact of stemming and cleaning data
-
learn when natural language processing can and shouldn't be used
-
how to see preliminary results of data collection in real time
Note: We've invited members of our sister chapters to attend and will be able to parse out the data by chapter.
