Introduction to HR Analytics for Non-Technical Teams

What you'll learn

---

Read a distribution and judge whether a number like "average salary: €60,000" is actually meaningful
Interpret bar, line, scatter, and slope charts using real HR data
Tell whether a difference between two groups is a real pattern or just noise - the intuitive way, no formulas
Move from a business question to the right chart, using a practical problem → question → visualization workflow
Requirements

---

No coding or statistics background required
No prior data analytics experience needed - this is an introductory course for non-technical teams
Basic comfort with spreadsheets (opening and viewing a file in Excel or Google Sheets) is helpful but not required
Any spreadsheet or charting tool works - Excel, Google Sheets, and Power BI are all fine; R or Python are optional for the final project, not required
Description

---

This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.
Every HR team sits on more data than it knows what to do with - headcount, salaries, engagement scores, attrition rates - but turning that data into a chart people actually trust is a skill most HR professionals were never taught.
This course teaches you exactly that, using one real, realistic company dataset from start to finish instead of toy examples. Across seven hands-on modules, you'll learn to
- Read a distribution and know whether a number like "average salary: €60,000" is actually meaningful
- Compare and relate variables using bar, line, scatter, and slope charts
- Judge whether a gap between two groups is a real pattern or just noise - the intuitive way, with no formulas
- Go from a business question to the right visualization, using a real problem → question → chart workflow
- Design charts that highlight what matters, and avoid the three most common ways a chart can quietly mislead
No coding, no statistics background, and no prior analytics experience required - just Excel or whatever tool you're comfortable with. You'll finish with a hands-on capstone project, building your own case study on the same dataset and presenting your findings for feedback. By the end, you'll be able to look at your own company's HR data and build a chart you - and your leadership team - can actually trust.
Who this course is for

---

HR professionals, HR business partners, and people leaders who want to read and question their own team's data instead of just trusting someone else's dashboard
Non-technical professionals who want to build clear, trustworthy charts without learning to code or studying formal statistics
Anyone in a people-facing role who regularly presents HR or workforce data to leadership and wants that data to land correctly
This course is not aimed at experienced data analysts or data scientists already fluent in statistical testing and visualization tools looking for advanced technical content
