Hey data-fish. Working in HR wanting to learn more around HR Analytics. Wandering if my best shot is to learn some Data & Analytics basics and just put them into practice. Is there any courses/pathways you'd recommend (could possibly get work to cover the cost)?

(Currently learning SQL and Python on Sololearn, and starting to use PowerBI)

As an HR, good going!! Basic SQL with join and group by. Power BI-connecting to excel, sql server, transforming data,bit of data modelling and visualization otta do it. Going into python might demotivate you(just a suggestion), probably start on it much later!!

That's fantastic advice, thank you!

Coming in from a diff angle…
Take Tufte’s course or at least get his books / watch him on YT.

Read the book Innumeracy

You are likely going to ask HR colleagues to flex into areas that uncomfortable or unfamiliar, being a world class communicator will make you infinitely more effective than the best technical recommendation.

I did HR analytics earlier in my career, being thick headed it took me maybe 2 years to stop being terrible at communicating and 2 more to be decent at it.

You’re right in that both will be a killer combo, good luck and I hope you find success

Thoughts?
