HR professionals sit on some of the most valuable data in any organisation-but most of it stays locked in HRIS exports, spreadsheet pivot tables, and slide decks that are out of date before they reach the boardroom. This course gives you the tools to change that.

You will connect your HR data sources to Microsoft Power BI, build a governed people analytics data model that enforces privacy through Row-Level Security, and design interactive dashboards that track the metrics that matter: headcount, attrition rate, time-to-hire, and diversity ratios. No coding experience is required.

In Module 3, you will use Microsoft Copilot in Power BI to query your data in plain language, generate DAX measures automatically, and produce AI-drafted narrative summaries ready for leadership review. You will also learn how to critically evaluate Copilot-generated insights-spotting hallucinations, aggregation bias, and data gaps before acting on them.

This course is designed for HR Business Partners, People Analysts, and Talent professionals who understand their workforce challenges and need the technical fluency to interrogate their data at speed. You will finish with a working people analytics dashboard and an AI-assisted reporting workflow you can deploy from day one.
