Here are the excerpts of the interview with Anshul.
You lead a team of data scientists, people analytics practitioners, and engineers who use data to transform the employee experience. How do you bring value to the business?
The people analytics journey has mirrored the evolution of our HR function, moving from process to experience. A decade ago, the analytics team focused on reporting operational metrics like the cost to hire. Now, we're focused on delivering insights that solve valuable business problems and compelling user pain points. We've incorporated a number of AI tools to help with better decision support, better employee experiences and productivity. Our journey from operational reporting to AI has transformed the way our users experience our offerings - for example, our employees experience learning via a contemporary digital platform that has a Netflix-like experience and delivers AI-based personalized recommendations.
How do you see the evolution of HR and talent from a technology perspective?
