Prioritizing Better Data

Meticulously cleaning and integrating all your workforce data is impossible and unnecessary.  Use this framework to balance the need for data quality with the impact of the decision you’re trying to make.  This clip is excerpted from a full-length HCI webcast; see full version and download slides here.

• “Bad” HR data is a fact of life; if you have concerns about your data quality, you are not alone.
• Data improves under scrutiny; “shine a flashlight” on your data.
• Don’t let perfection be the enemy of the good; numbers that give you a general idea of your most critical issues need not be hyper-accurate in order to get you started.
