Introduction
This GLOMACS HR Analytics & Advanced Compensation and Benefits training course equips HR professionals with the analytical skills and reward expertise needed to design, measure, and defend evidence-based compensation strategies. Organisations increasingly expect HR to move from intuition to data, and from administering pay to strategically shaping it. This 5-day programme merges the foundations of HR analytics and statistics with practical compensation and benefits design, giving participants the ability to both measure workforce data and translate it into smarter reward decisions.
Participants will learn to analyse workforce data, apply core HR metrics and statistical concepts, and use analytics to demonstrate the ROI and impact of reward programmes. Practical sessions on pay structure, performance-based pay, salary surveys, and reward strategy development are grounded throughout in evidence-based analytical thinking. By the end of the course, delegates will be able to build meaningful HR and reward metrics, design compensation strategies backed by data, and present analytical insight confidently to senior leaders.
