The people analytics work we do at Merck is closely aligned with the business and people priorities of the company
To build sustainable success in people analytics you need a few key ingredients. Let’s look at three, First, align the work of the people analytics team to the business strategy and priorities. Second, in parallel, be intentional about building analytical capability across the wider HR function. And third, get sponsorship from the Chief Human Resources Officer, the global HR leadership team and senior leaders in the business.
My guest on this episode of the podcast has mixed all these ingredients and more since founding the people analytics team at Merck in 2016. Alexis Saussinan is the Group Head of People Data and Technology, and the function he has built has become a bedrock of Merck’s people strategy, and consistently delivers value to the business and the global workforce at the company.
Alexis and I reflect on the journey of people analytics over the last five years at Merck, and look forward to the future as Alexis’ role has expanded to bring people data, analytics and technology together.
