People Analytics for HR: A New Approach
If you want to advance your HR career, you're going to need to build people analytics skills. In fact, recent research from LinkedIn shows a 61% year-over-year increase in the frequency with which HR Analytics is listed as a skill on professional profiles.
HCI's latest certification program, People Analytics for HR (PAHR), is built on brand new research and industry innovations in data and analytics.

Who Should Enroll?
The PAHR certification program is designed for HR leaders and practitioners who are still building their analytics capabilities. If any of the descriptions below sound like you, your team, or your organization, PAHR is the critical next step on your development journey.
- We need to improve our foundational analytics skills, such as validating a hypothesis or determining the strength of a correlation.
- We produce/access reports using people data, but we don't use them for recommendations or decision-making.
- We rely on our intuition and experience more than on qualitative and quantitative data.
- There is no consistent process or methodology for using data to produce insights for key stakeholders.
- We want to keep our seat at the table with our stakeholders. That means we need to be able to interpret data and act on it, just like they do.
