HR Analytics Is A Very Hot Issue
Thomas Palladino, Senior Human Resources Consultant
Tom Palladino has held numerous HR leadership positions in companies that included Conoco Phillips, Starbucks Coffee, Wells Fargo, Capital One, First Data and Green Plains Renewable Energy.
His interest in HR Analytics started in 1998 while he was consulting for Starbucks. At that time Starbucks was growing rapidly around the world. Tom was tasked with designing a methodology that would identify employee attributes that correlate with business performance. His HR analytics model was initially applied to new subsidiaries in Asia and Europe enabling the company to inculcate select Starbucks values to create a “performance-driven brew”. Later, Tom’s protocol was successfully applied throughout the United States.
In his HR leadership positions, Tom consistently applied analytics to identify high-leverage HR practices that delivered the highest possible business results.
In 2012, Tom started Refined Analytics (refinedanalytics.com) and has delivered powerful diagnostics and solutions to companies that include RE/MAX, Micron, PepperJax Grill and other organizations around the world.
Today, Tom is focusing on clients in India, China, and Indonesia. He is also on the faculty of a university based in Iowa where he teaches Human Resources, Change Management, and Lean Six Sigma.
Tom has his bachelor’s degree in Labor Relations from Cornell University and a graduate degree in Dispute Resolution from Creighton University. He resides in Omaha, Nebraska.

Human resources analytics is a very hot area in HR today. Many HR professionals think it is new but it has been employed since the 90’s. Basically, analytics is a combination of analysis and statistics and unlike metrics which are data from the past; analytics is the use of data to make predictions about the future. This webinar will detail how, with the right data and skills, an HR professional can:
- Make predictions on which applicant will be a better worker
- Anticipate when people will quit and hire a replacement faster
- Forecast staffing needs
- Identify training programs that have the greatest impact on improving employee performance
To be ahead of the game, HR professionals need to look out for the rearview mirror and the windshield. Keeping track of employee turnover and absenteeism are examples of HR metrics, not HR analytics. Metrics are data based on historical performance and are useful in measuring progress, but they do little to help you make decisions that will change the future.
This workshop will teach participants how to identify key human metrics and drivers to measure and improve HR and business performance. Based on the tenant that “one cannot improve what one does not measure”, metrics are very useful in establishing a baseline and measuring improvement. But, selecting the right metrics is key. Do you really want to increase the speed of hiring new people? It is a worthy goal but, if it results in the selection of poor quality new-hires, you will have won the battle and lost the war. This webinar will help you select powerful metrics that are tailored to your organization and geared toward improving business and HR performance.
Beyond metrics, this seminar will focus on micro variables that predict high performance. HR Analytics is the use of data to explain why some workers are high performing, what truly motivates people to work harder, what training courses deliver the most value to the Company, and much more.
HR professionals have powerful intuitions and strong hunches, but to “sell” their ideas, they need data to back them up. This webinar will help HR professionals test hypotheses and make a “business case” for their ideas.
Today, HR leaders can easily use technology to develop analytics and make key predictive decisions.
