information security as a waste of time, and the reason why they feel that way is because
they’re not held accountable.”

People suffer when things go wrong.”

Are we in the middle of The Great Resignation?  When crises hit workers tend to stay in their jobs.  A report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics has tracked job openings, leaves, and turnover (JOLT) for the past 30 years.  When the pandemic hit we saw a historical drop in employees leaving.  Now, as the country opens we’re seeing a historically large spike in workers leaving jobs to move to other companies and careers.  Dave Weisbeck shares his views on what is happening and why companies should pay attention.

Throughout Dave’s twenty years of experience in the information management and analytics industry, he’s built development teams and grown multi-billion dollar companies. Now a chairman of the HR.com Advisory Board, he’s looking to help organizations break new ground in business intelligence and people analytics.

Quotes:
“The data shows that we’re a history 30-year high in people leaving organizations, and so that’s
where I’d say the name comes from—The Great Resignation.”
“I’ve always seen it as: inclusion is a bit more of the outcome, the real prize that we’re shooting
for, but diversity is the place to get started.”

Summary:

With people data and people analytics tools becoming more readily available, there’s a trend toward wanting a single solution that handles “all the data”. Unfortunately, this isn’t our reality quite yet. A holistic approach to people analytics can only be found when technology vendors and services players openly collaborate. This kind of synergy is what improves the lives of employees and fuels improved performance for businesses. 

Chapters:

[0:00 - 3:28] Introduction

[3:29 - 16:27] Lessons from Focusing on People Analytics for the Last 3 Years

[16:28 - 27:33] Proving Guidance on “People Intelligence 2.0”

[27:34 - 32:57] Connecting All This Disparate Data

[32:58 - 38:20] Final Thoughts & Closing

Quotes:

“It actually has stunned me for years that there isn't really a strong discipline around analytics around people because increasingly, businesses are more and more about people.”

“Because HR data is not HR data—HR data is business data. And one of the problems we have is we hold on to it too tightly. … we've heard the term democratizing data, and that's just wrong. It's not about democratizing. It's [about] letting it go.”
