What Are Workplace Analytics?

Leading companies have become increasingly dependent on knowledge worker productivity over the past three decades. Yet, those employees are becoming increasingly less engaged and feel their most powerful asset – time – is often not wisely or productively spent. Organizations face the challenge of dramatic Business Transformation operations in their organizations, yet lack the inputs & data to understand the behaviors that encourage higher levels of efficiency and engagement. 

How Can Workplace Analytics Encourage Business Transformation?

What if the raw collaboration data that is generated by the very systems that we use every day can be harnessed to tell us exactly how people work, collaborate, and spend their time? This workshop will introduce the data-driven discipline of Workplace Analytics. These presentation slides will outline the concepts of this new field, discuss pressing problems it will address in your organization and review how Fortune 100 companies transform email and calendar collaboration metadata and behavioral analytics into actionable insights that will enable you to unleash the true potential of your Business Transformation.
