Dr. Mark Huselid, Distinguished Professor of Workforce Analytics at Northeastern University and Partner, BHB Associates, and Dr. Alec Levenson, the Director at Center for Effective Organizations, University of Southern California, join the Directionally Correct podcast to discuss their new book Workforce Analytics: A Global Perspective. In this episode, we have one of the best discussions we’ve ever heard on the value of measuring variance in employees at work, we discuss Mark’s famous work on High Performance Work Systems and how they relate to firm performance, why systems thinking is important for treating people analytics like a team sport, Mark’s formative experiences in motor sports and how they led him to management research, and more shenanigans in this episode. You’ll want to check out this episode of the #1 people analytics podcast!
