How you'll make a difference: As an HR Analyst, you will play a significant role in identifying trends and anomalies in HR related data. Your analysis will enable managers to understand their staff establishment and profile, monitor performance against key people metrics, and provide insights that will inform and influence organisational decision-making. What you will be doing: Daily, you will prepare and coordinate HR related statistical reports and information, leading on the execution of data queries, producing statistics and performing data analysis and evaluation. It will be your responsibility to provide accurate and insightful ‘people metrics’ data both standard, statutory and commissioned, turning data into actionable insights. Applying your subject matter expertise, you will support organisational projects such as annual benchmarking, staff surveys and requests for ad-hoc reports relating to HR data. Working across the organisation, you will develop streamlined and efficient datasets, offering advice and guidance and analysing and presenting data in relation to these projects. Regularly, you will be required to translate requirements into effective analysis, helping to inform strategy and planning to drive improvements. What we need from you: We require you to hold a degree level qualification in a related subject such as data science or data analysis or have equivalent relevant experience, including completing statutory government returns. You must have proven systems and data management experience, including data visualisation and Power BI and be able to translate complex data into effective and streamlined reporting solutions. It is essential that you have experience in building dashboards using Power BI and Excel to present and manipulate data. Given the nature of this role, you need to be able to communicate clearly and understand business issues as explained by staff with limited or no systems knowledge. You must have effective presentation and documentation skills, including clear analysis and presentation of issues, options, and recommendations.
