What is the biggest challenge beginners face?

Staring at the data and asking themselves how to get started. You want to use data to support your HR programs but don't know how to approach this challenge.

Meet Your Captain

Dr. Konstantin Tskhay

My career trajectory owes a great deal to my expertise in HR analytics, a skill I honed during my Ph.D. studies at the University of Toronto.

My journey began as a management consultant in Human Capital at Deloitte, progressing to establishing a data-driven HR department at an ed-tech SaaS company. In these roles, I've witnessed firsthand a 30%+ improvement in employee engagement and retention within just 18 months.

Beyond these achievements, my proudest accomplishment has been transforming HR from a traditionally reactive unit into a strategic powerhouse, earning a well-deserved place at the executive table. This shift not only advanced my career but also significantly boosted my income.

Now, my goal is to empower 10,000 HR professionals with the power of People Analytics, sharing the insights and knowledge I've accumulated to propel your careers forward.
