A truly outstanding event has speakers characterized by 3 things ENERGY ∙ PASSION ∙ CONTENT above all else. We keep it that way.
What exactly is the big deal about this whole concept of People Analytics, also known as Workforce Analytics (aka HR Analytics)...???
The story starts with a simple fact – you cannot ignore digitalization and stay competitive in business, let alone be a market leader in any business. We live in a world where a smartphone app can change the market landscape in a matter of weeks. Love it or hate it – you can’t ignore it. Improved workforce productivity and performance, enhanced employee experience and wellbeing, and better HR reporting at a strategic level, are essential to the success of organizations and their ability to survive, now and in the decades to come. All this comes at a time when talented and highly skilled employees are not just becoming harder to recruit and retain, but actively rethinking their desired relationships with employers.
So, the HR has to go digital; and as organizations look to cope with these changes, they are embracing the workforce analytics at ever greater pace. These analytics can be used to improve workforce productivity, enhance employee experience and wellbeing, and increase the impact of HR overall. Undoubtedly, workforce analytics is central to the future of HR, as it lies at the heart of initiatives to personalize the employee experience, optimize organizational design and improve team collaboration and effectiveness.
Now, that is – by any accounts – a pretty big deal. And the good news is:
Empowering HR with People Analytics for Success in Digital Economy
Most organizations still operate in hierarchical 2.0 mode, while the modern HR has reached the 4.0 stage. The HR 4.0 now has the capability to influence business decisions, by providing data-based, timely and exact business insight. The HR 4.0 can provide the CEO and other C-level decision-makers with data-based facts to make the key business decisions, instead of relying on the “gut-feel”. People Analytics brings the paradigm shift in how business decisions are made, how risk is evaluated and ultimately what business impact an organization will have. We are no longer talking about the need to have HR at the table in l'art pour l'art HR terms. People Analytics finally gives the HR that truly strategic role... and a seat at the table.
This conference series and subsequent Masterclasses bring you the blueprint on how to successfully implement HR Analytics at strategic and tactical/ops level. You will hear real-life examples form the giants like Amazon, as well as some of the World's leading academic and business minds in the field, presenting data-based facts & figures, trends & tendencies for the near, mid and long-term outlook of the Future of Work.
Technology is changing the world of work and big data plays a key role in the process. Sorting out the “ocean of information” is the game-changer. HR analytics is not yet-another-hype, but a trend that is growing and is here to stay. It is increasingly becoming the “way we do things around here”. If you don’t have the right data – you are uninformed. If you have too much of unsorted data – you are overwhelmed. As a busy HR person, you can’t afford either. The quality of your decisions has a direct and lasting impact on your organization. The HR analytics provide a solution to that challenge.
2ND ANNUAL HR & PEOPLE ANALYTICS FORUM ZAGREB is a conference dedicated to presenting, understanding and embracing the use of data-driven analytical approach in HR function, and business as a whole. The data-driven decision-making process is recognized as the key differentiator in today’s workplace, giving companies who apply it properly a substantial edge.

During my presentation I would like to share with the participants my experiences as a coach in an era where technology is changing the way we work. My purpose: to underline the importance of culture, strategy, engagement and leadership support in order to boost innovation and new trends in HR like People Analytics.
If you don’t have the right data you can feel overwhelmed, but to manage data and to promote innovation we should keep in mind possible barriers: lack of leadership, lack of awareness and engagement. Coaching could help organizations to promote a culture of innovation and I would like to share the experiences of my clients.
Coaching itself is changing and supported by technology, becoming more flexible and more effective in this digital era. Moreover, I would like to share some experiences about how leadership should change in order to promote innovation and how coaching tools can be used by leaders to boost a culture of innovation.
Key take-aways:
1. How coaching is changing to adapt to the new HR scenarios
2. Coaching as a powerful tool to support innovation

Presentation focus:
∙ Digital workforce is changing the way we work and how we connect and represent ourselves
∙ Moving from roles to projects to gigs with a focus on competencies
∙ Why employers are looking for fit and potential more than skills and experience
∙ Screening and interviewing models and supporting need to adapt to keep up
∙ Why employees are seeking a human model within a digital framework
Overview:
Digitization is the driving force across the enterprise but most importantly it has had the biggest impact in people practices. How does this change how we assess and develop talent and change the candidate and employee experience? Will AI replace core functions or will AI-based data support the human objective?
HR teams need to carefully select the technology that supports their process and productivity objectives while also considering how technology will serve to enable and uncover human potential and a human experience. AI should re-humanize a process, not de-humanize it. Learn how companies are using digital video AI technology to assess for leadership, potential, attitude and fit in a forward-looking environment that embraces and supports a people-first, human experience that is additive, not reductive and keeps people at the center of decision making while reducing bias and subjectivity in the process.
Key take-aways:
1. Understand how digital AI is improving talent screening and assessment
2. Understand how digital AI helps to uncover and develop talent potential
3. See how employees and candidates are using digital AI to improve their profile and tell a more accurate story
