For a long time, HR decisions were made on instinct: a manager's sense that turnover was "getting worse" or that a department "seemed disengaged." That is no longer good enough when finance, operations, and the board expect numbers behind every recommendation. The People Analytics and HR Dashboard Design Training Course by Arab British Fellowship Training Academy equips HR professionals to back their judgement with evidence — choosing the right metrics, building dashboards people actually use, and presenting workforce data in a way that changes decisions.

This Human Resource Training Course covers HR KPIs, people analytics and workforce analytics, dashboard design, HR reporting and data interpretation, and workforce planning built on analytics rather than assumption. Participants practise selecting metrics that matter, reading trends correctly, and communicating findings clearly to management.

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

• Explain why evidence-based decision-making has become essential in modern HR.
• Select relevant HR KPIs for different organisational functions.
• Apply people analytics techniques across the employee lifecycle, talent, and performance.
• Design HR dashboards that are usable, accessible, and focused on the right metrics.
• Interpret workforce data and identify meaningful trends and patterns.
• Produce HR reports that are accurate, clear, and relevant to business decisions.
• Apply workforce analytics to support workforce planning and skills-gap analysis.
• Evaluate turnover, retention, absence, and productivity metrics.
