Learning Days agenda

During the digital "Learning Days - Mastering People Analytics: Transforming Into Data-Driven HR", a series of exciting keynotes await you:

• HR in Transition: Data, ESG, and the Role of HR - The keynote will shed light on how the tasks of HR are changing and the challenges this brings.​ The transformation of the HR role is a central theme that addresses the future of human resources.​ People analytics, generative AI, and data-based requirements such as ESG reporting are drivers of these changes.​ Dealing with AI and data is essentially the new "reading and writing". HR also needs to embrace and master these tools and use them effectively.​
• Bertelsmann in Numbers: Elevate Workforce Data with HRytics - Hear about why Bertelsmann is prioritizing a more comprehensive use of workforce data in business decision making. Learn about the key internal and external drivers of a more data-driven HR function at Bertelsmann and get first-hand information on how we are setting up the architecture for group-wide HR reporting and people analytics. Experience the benefits of "HRlytics" with a showcase of insights into learning data.
• ESG Next_: Tailwind or Headwind for HR at Bertelsmann - The EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) is a new regulation that requires companies to disclose information about their social impacts, including their own workforce and value chain. The CSRD is a double-edged sword for HR. It cuts through the fog of social washing and reveals companies’ true performance. It sharpens HR’s role as a strategic partner and change agent for a more responsible and transparent organization. However, the CSRD also brings challenges, such as fulfilling the new reporting standards, ensuring data quality, and complying with auditors’ requirements.
• Empowering HR: Bertelsmann University Program Landscape - Gain insight into the HR digital learning environment at Bertelsmann. Understand the advantages of different learning providers to make an informed choice that best suits you or your employees and familiarize yourself with Bertelsmann’s definition of “training hours” to enhance the data quality in peoplenet LMS.

In addition to the informative keynotes, an interactive online game will be offered on the second day of the Learning Days. In the game, participants will find out in groups of five as a team how to identify relevant data, ensure data quality, and prepare data comprehensibly for third parties.
