Es una introducción muy general a la analítica en recursos humanos. el libro presenta el caso de una hipotética directora de recursos humanos que debe hacer su primer trabajo de analítica, cada capítulo describe los problemas a los que se enfrenta y las soluciones que desarrolla. Para los profesionales en RR.HH. es una buena herramienta, en la medida en que explica de forma muy fácil los conceptos más generales de analítica. Para académicos el libro tiene valor en los anexos (casi la mitas del libro), ya que presenta algunas sugerencias de configuración de los problemas de métrica y analítica que pueden ser muy útiles para desarrollar proyectos de consultoría.

This book is a simple, straightforward guide to HR analytics. The book is written to be a step-by-step guide and is a great starting point for most HR professionals. I appreciate how the book is honest about being a starting point and you will more likely need more resources to get your analytics set up, and provides some of those resources in the book.

Educational Read on how HR has changed in the last decade. A focus on data, people, and innovation should lead the organization and departments of modern-fast pace professionals.

I honestly don’t know whom the book is written to. Way too simple for even an average person.

A higher level of analytics, but helpful in keeping the communication of those analytics successful.
