FAQs

Can a large group participate from the same company?

Yes, reach out to Future Workplace to discuss how your team can complete a project using your company’s data and solve a specific business challenge you are facing.

What if I have already taken “Solving Business Problems Using People Analytics?” Is this live course right for me?

Yes! There is no duplication between the two courses; don’t worry about getting bored, this will be an exciting way to apply what you’ve already learned!

The People Analytics in Practice live online instructor-led program is more personal and interactive because it leverages live dialogue, discussion, and personal coaching that is not possible in the cohort-based Solving Business Problems Using People Analytics course. The People Analytics in Practice live course is highly customized to the attendees and enables participants to address a business/HR problem which is solved during the program. It’s very limited in size (30 attendees total) and each attendee gets a lot of personal attention from the instructor, Heather Whiteman.

Heather is a highly sought out instructor on this topic, and has 15 years of experience transforming organizations through the use of people data. There is no duplication between the two courses, so attendees are welcome to take both of them.

As Heather explains: “Solving Business Problems Using People Analytics is designed to provide the foundations of people analytics through a 5-week online course comprised of pre-recorded lectures and case studies. In it you learn from multiple experts in the field and through activities on your own schedule. People Analytics in Practice is for those who want to put a specific people analytics plan into action with direct coaching from both your instructor and other learners. They will both help you become a data-driven HR leader and both have something unique to offer.

Should I take one of these courses first?

The courses are designed to be effective no matter whether you take only one or both. If taking both, they are designed to work well regardless of the order in which they are taken. If you decide to take both courses, you will find that by taking one you will automatically be better prepared and have a deeper appreciation for the other, but you will never be at a disadvantage for not having taken both or by choosing to participate in one before the other.

What is the weekly time commitment?

Two hours per week for each online live session, and a half hour each week in between live sessions.

What happens if I miss a session?

All live sessions will be recorded and you will receive a link to review each session on your own time.
