Why Attend?
Competition for top talent is fierce. This session will showcase how people analytics can enhance skills and talent across the ecosystem by:
- Predicting Quality of Hire: Identifying candidates most likely to succeed and stay, reducing costly turnover.
- Reducing Attrition: Diagnosing root causes of turnover and taking data-driven actions to retain critical talent.
- Building a Scalable People Analytics Capability: Creating an in-house framework for ongoing talent insights and workforce optimisation.
Proven Results from Leading Companies
We bring a track record of success from working with major organisations including IHG, ABI, TikTok, Serco, and Barclays, where our predictive people analytics halved attrition rates within a year—saving over £2 million in wasted training costs. By embedding analytics into their recruitment processes, we helped Barclays shift their focus from “Can you do the job?” to “Will you enjoy the job?”—transforming hiring outcomes and creating a more engaged workforce.
Our masterclass is designed to help you directly enhance your mission of building a highly skilled, future-ready workforce by demonstrating how people analytics can address common challenges and unlock new opportunities within your own organisation.
This session will help you:
- Strengthen Your Talent Initiatives: Use predictive analytics to support your Skills & Talent pillar, ensuring your initiatives directly address the most pressing talent challenges in fintech—such as reducing attrition in technical roles and improving quality of hire for high-demand positions.
- Enhance Your Community Impact: Showcase the power of data-driven people decisions through your partnerships, collaborations, and accelerator programs—providing valuable insights that can be shared with your member companies.
