Technology has made it easier to parse multiple kinds of data in multiple ways. However, knowing how to apply new technologies and data analytics to make informed workplace decisions is critical. SHRM has frequently addressed this topic in various articles and toolkits, including “Another Task for HR in the GenAI Era: Find a Prompt Engineer,” “HR at a Crossroads of Talent, Smart Tech and Learning” and “Benchmarking HR Metrics.”
There will be several sessions at the SHRM Annual Conference & Expo 2024 (SHRM24) addressing this subject. The SHRM24 takes place June 23-26 at McCormick Place Convention Center in Chicago and virtually. All times are Central time unless otherwise noted.
