Fiona Jamison on developing data-driven people insights

Data-driven insights can transform the way HR operates, but many companies struggle to understand how to effectively deploy this data in a way that can lead to tangible results for employees.

“A lot of people get overwhelmed with the amount of data they have,” says Dr. Fiona Jamison, Vice President of Research and People Analytics at People Results. 

The management and labour consulting firm works with organisations such as the USTA to move away from what Fiona refers to as “gut-based decision-making” and towards more evidence-based people strategies. 

“A big part of our work is ensuring the data we collect is translated into data storytelling, so that clients can make progress towards taking action,” she says.
