To make data actionable, it needs to be accurate, accessible and applicable

In the current series of the Digital HR Leaders Podcast we’re taking a closer look at how having the right people data in place supports companies operating in fast-growing environments.

My guest on this week’s episode is Ian White, Founder and Chief Executive Officer at ChartHop, one of the fastest growing and most exciting new technologies in our space.

ChartHop has grown by more than 10x since the start of the pandemic and has a prestigious list of investors including Andreessen Horowitz. Josh Bersin recently highlighted ChartHop as “a cool tool that displays every piece of data you need in a visual way,” which is high praise indeed – and deservedly so.

Ian believes that “When people have the full context— know what they are trying to achieve together, know their roles, know the rules, and fundamentally trust that managers and leaders are transparent and fair — you can achieve great things.”

Empowering your middle management leaders (with people analytics) will be a major competitive advantage for companies

In our conversation Ian and I discuss:

  • How Ian’s own experience as a customer of trying to scale a business with the right tech and tools ("...the constant exporting of data from different systems and the V lookups and pivot tables to get basic answers") helped inspire him to build and scale ChartHop ("ChartHop centralises data from across your HR and Financial Tech stack and not only does it bring all your people data together, you can finally bring them all together on one strategic platform. ChartHop also makes it easily actionable with custom insights and colour coded visualisations.")
  • How to bring data to life so that it is accurate, accessible and applicable and so leads to actionable insights ("When you can use the data to identify the most pressing problems, you can then create informed ways and action plans to solve them.")
  • Why agility, organisational design and workforce planning all need to evolve to support the world of hybrid work ("When you are doing any kind of talent mapping or workforce planning, you want to understand both the people. What are their preferences? What are their skills? What does that look like? And what is the job function? How much of this job function needs to be in person? How much might be more optimal in person, but can be done remotely? How much maybe is more optimal remotely? Then you want to be able to map the different job functions, you want to be able to map that to employee skills and map that to employee preferences and understand where there is a gap.")
  • The role of people analytics in helping organisations achieve their diversity, equity and inclusion goals ("The ability to visualise, to analyse and to track and manage, can help achieve DEI goals for an organisation.")
  • How CHROs can build on the last year: an ability to experiment, to explore and to respond quickly ("HR has always been a strategic function, HR Leaders know that, but Business Leaders are now recognising it too. When HR Leaders have easy and clear visual ways to showcase their successes and how their initiatives tie directly into business outcomes, they have a powerful tool to support their work and advocate for their people to other business leaders.")
  • How having the right people data in place supports a business operating in a fast-paced environment ("When people and the whole organisation are grounded in shared knowledge and shared context, they are better equipped to steer the business towards outcomes that are better. Towards more agile futures and more equitable and inclusive futures as well and data can reshape organisations for the better.")

This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in technologies that help organise, manage and visualise people data so that it drives actionable insights so that’s business leaders, CHROs and anyone in a People Analytics, Workforce Planning or HR Business Partner role.

A picture is worth a thousand words and it is probably worth even more than numbers because when you are strategically using colour to organise and format your data, you are drawing your eye directly to the matter at hand
