Live Online Data and Analytics for Digital HR & Process Automation Training Course
Live online, instructor-led · next cohort Nov 9, 2026 · from USD 800
Most HR departments hold years of records on hiring, pay, attendance and exits, yet still answer management questions with guesswork and spreadsheets copied between desks. Five days of hands-on work show how to turn that data into evidence and remove repetitive administration from the function.
You start with the HR data landscape: employee records, HRIS exports, payroll and applicant tracking data, and how to clean and structure them. You then calculate core people metrics such as turnover, time to hire, absenteeism, cost per hire and pay equity, and present them in Excel and Power BI dashboards. Further sessions introduce predictive thinking on attrition and engagement, workforce planning scenarios and the ethics of employee data, including consent and privacy. The second half focuses on automation: mapping HR processes, selecting candidates for automation, building approval workflows for onboarding, leave and requisitions, and using forms, rules and bots to reduce errors. Human resource officers, HR business partners, talent and payroll specialists, HRIS administrators and people managers in corporates, NGOs and public bodies will benefit. Formats include classroom, online and in-house, and a CPD-accredited certificate is awarded.

About this course
Boards and executives increasingly expect HR to explain workforce costs, retention risks and productivity with numbers, not anecdotes. At the same time employees expect quick, error-free service for routine requests. Teams that cannot analyse their own data or streamline manual processes find themselves reacting to problems and buried in paperwork.
This programme combines two capabilities that reinforce each other. The analytics strand teaches participants to assemble reliable HR datasets, define metrics consistently, visualise trends and interpret what they mean for recruitment, pay, performance and retention. The automation strand covers process mapping, workflow design, form and approval automation, document generation and integration with existing HR systems, with attention to governance, audit trails and change management. Throughout, data protection and fairness are treated as design requirements, since people data is sensitive and algorithms can embed bias.
Participants work on sample HR datasets and process scenarios rather than abstract theory. They finish with a working HR dashboard, a prioritised automation roadmap and a short business case they can present to leadership on their return.
Training Objectives
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
- Identify and consolidate the data sources that describe the employee lifecycle.
- Clean, validate and structure HR data for reliable analysis.
- Calculate and interpret turnover, absenteeism, time to hire and cost per hire.
- Build interactive HR dashboards that answer specific management questions.
- Apply basic predictive and segmentation techniques to attrition and engagement data.
- Map and redesign HR processes to find the best candidates for automation.
- Configure approval workflows for onboarding, leave and recruitment requests.
- Protect employee privacy and check analytics for bias.
