How are you leveraging people analytics within your workplace?

The annual Wharton People Analytics Conference brings together industry leaders and academic experts at the forefront of people analytics to share cutting-edge insights, practices and innovations.

Throughout the program each year, we hear from leaders dedicated to creating social and economic progress for organizations and society. For example, during the 2018 program, we explored the future of discovering gender bias in communication and how to encourage buy-in to data-driven decision-making.

COMPETITIONS

As an interdisciplinary initiative, Wharton People Analytics draws on numerous areas of study, from psychology to management, to fuel our work with organizations and drive innovation. Our competitions are an annual opportunity for us to learn from new voices in the field and celebrate the innovation that is occurring all around us – by academic researchers, student teams, and startup companies alike.

Research Paper Competition

The fourth annual research paper competition showcases the latest, unpublished research in people analytics. Submissions this year involved a diverse set of research topics including advanced analytics around compensation, attitude measurement, diversity, and hiring.

Student Case Competition

We are thrilled to partner with Global Health Corps (GHC) for our fifth annual Case Competition. GHC is a nonprofit organization with the mission to build the movement for health equality by placing Fellows at high-impact health organizations and training them to be global leaders. Student teams analyzed real data from the Fellow selection process at GHC to recommend strategies to optimize their application review process.

Startup Competition

The second annual startup competition showcases cutting edge startups working in the field of people analytics, from predictive hiring to employee retention. Startups have the opportunity to win one of three awards: Most Impactful, Best User Experience, and Most Innovative Use of Data.
