105: Ask Good Business Questions with Jakob Ejlsted

Jakob shares with us the importance of asking good business questions to get the most out of your people-related data, instead of just asking HR questions. Since leadership is typically driven by profits, we need to understand this and communicate meaningful people analytics that will help the business achieve the desired result. HR needs to be the master "translator" within their business, when we can articulate what the people want and communicate what the business needs then we can create an integrated culture that yields results. 

 

We discuss:

 

-Basic decision-making roadmap with data

-Culture Integration

-How good companies are leveraging people analytics to make key business decisions

-The importance of having a people-first mentality during times of M&A and organizational restructuring

-Building a people strategy during a global pandemic

-Learning the numbers in HR and how to ask good business questions
