“Technology has impacted HR now more than ever with many companies adopting HCMs and HRIS. Taking a Data Analytics course will help HR professionals leverage the data that they have access to, in order to make sound decisions and advise senior leaders within organizations in a quantifiable manner.

Chandler Bartsch, Data Analytics for HR - 101 graduate
“The importance of understanding HR Data Analytics isn't new for the profession, but knowing how to best utilize that data has been a skill gap that has not been entirely met by professional programs. The Intro to HR Data Analytics is a perfect blend of foundational understanding of HR analytics coupled with practical tools for HR professionals to bring back to their teams. I would recommend this intro course for anyone that wants to be a well-rounded HR generalist, specialist, or future leader - it's fundamental learning for everyone in the field.”
People Operations Specialist at Thinkific
Kelly Aslanowicz, CPHR Member
“More than ever, businesses need Human Resource professionals who understand data and know how to use it to inform decision-making, guide strategy and strengthen people practices. Partnering with LHL has provided the opportunity for our membership to develop new knowledge focused on capturing and analyzing data. As a professional association, we are always interested in engaging with partners who specifically address competency areas where members have identified a true knowledge gap. The Lighthouse Labs team really invested time and energy to define what our members needs really were early in the course development process. At a time when HR professionals are taking on more and different roles than they ever have before within their organizations, data-focused decision-making is becoming an essential piece of the puzzle.”
