How can HR data lead to better decisions?
There is plenty of HR data. But which figures are reliable? Which connections are relevant? And how can insights be communicated so they are understood and inspire action? Under the theme “HR Data Storytelling,” EMPOWER PEOPLE 2026 explores these questions and shows how People Analytics can make a real difference in HR.
AI opens up new opportunities to analyze data and identify developments early. At the same time, fundamental challenges remain: ensuring data quality, defining metrics consistently, and building trust in the results. Even the best dashboard only has an impact when people can interpret what it tells them and use it to make decisions.
Three contributions from business practice explore this journey from different perspectives: from the tension between solid data foundations and new AI capabilities, through People Analytics as a shared learning process, to the practical application of metrics, reporting, and forecasts. HR Data Storytelling connects numbers with context, making their significance clear to people and organizations.
The People Experience Community, in cooperation with Carinthia University of Applied Sciences, invites you to explore these perspectives and take away ideas for your own practice. The online event is aimed at HR professionals, leaders, interested companies, and students.
Participation is free and limited to 300 attendees.
