Welcome to The Human Truth Podcast where, each episode, we take a closer look at a popular workforce statistic ripped from the headlines and ask: Where’d it come from? Is it true? And why should we care?  Did you know that people analytics, the practice – not the term as we know it today – began in 1911? Since then, people analytics, the practice, has evolved to become foundational to business, people, and financial outcomes.  According to Insight222, in the last 12 months, 88% of people analytics teams have been asked to do specific work for the board of directors.  People analytics has come a long way, and in this episode we breakdown its history, how we use it today, and its opportunity in the future of work.  On the podcast this episode: Host, Ian Cook is Visier’s VP of People AnalyticsGuest, David Green, author, people analytics thought leader, and director of Insight222 & myHRfuture.com.Mentioned in the episode:  The 100 Year History of the Human Resources Department___ Thanks for joining this episode on the Human Truth Podcast presented by Viser.
