Analytical skills are becoming a crucial job requirement for HR as organizations strive to become more data driven. Unfortunately, there is a shortage of analytical talent to meet this need. Less than 20% of companies identify as having a strong HR analytics function in their business, and over 75% of HR professionals reported difficulty recruiting for essential data analysis positions.
To remain competitive, credit unions need to rapidly upskill their HR talent. In this course you'll develop and sharpen your HR analytics skills as you analyze and visualize data to inform recommendations and decisions. You'll also:
- Discuss the steps in identifying insights from HR data and analysis
- Pertinent questions to drive the analytical process
- Explore basic calculations for correlation and regression
Taking this a step further, you'll mindfully interpret findings, looking beyond data as you take a holistic view of the situations you encounter.
Through the course project, you'll compose a presentation to visualize essential HR data and communicate findings to key decision makers. This course does not assume any prior analytical training or knowledge, nor does it require access to current HR data or metrics. Using Excel and the datasets provided, this program equips you with the concepts, tools, and language your need to start your HR analytics journey.
*During the 2 weeks of this self-directed course please plan on spending 4-6 hours per week for assignments, discussion board participation and a project.
August 31 - September 13, 2022
More than ever, credit union human resource leaders are expected to be proficient in the use of HR data and analytics. However, figuring out where to start with analytics, how to evaluate and critique HR data, and how to best communicate and translate results to the broader organization remain key challenges.
This course focuses on building analytical acumen and taking a strategic view of talent analytics. Using the framework presented in this course, you'll examine outcomes and drivers throughout an organization to assess strategic needs. And, as you complete the activities throughout this course you'll fine tune your evaluative, presentation, and communication skills using critical thinking coupled with analytical best practices.
This course is designed for HR professionals who want to build their organization’s HR analytics capabilities, derive meaning from metrics and results, and tell persuasive stories involving HR and organizational data. With these skills, you'll have a stronger voice in using talent analytics to persuade others toward actions that best align with your credit union's goals.
*During the 2 weeks of this self-directed course please plan on spending 4-6 hours per week for assignments, discussion board participation and a project.
September 21 - October 4, 2022
As credit unions strive to succeed in a continuously evolving world, talent must be continuously assessed and evaluated to ensure alignment with strategic goals. It is no longer acceptable to serve in a consultant capacity on problems that arise or to offer strategic advice based solely on experience and policy. Today, HR teams must partner with senior leadership in driving effective and efficient change based on solid data and analysis. Predictive analytics help credit unions anticipate and plan appropriately for the future.
In this course, you'll apply rigorous measurement and analysis techniques to common HR areas involving hiring top talent, evaluating workforce diversity, engaging the workforce, and managing retention. Through activities and assignments, you'll explore foundational frameworks relevant to analyses ranging from basic descriptions to more advanced predictive models involving machine learning, artificial intelligence, or big data. As you examine key inputs and data sources, you'll use data to predict patterns and trends in areas such as diversity, engagement, and performance. Ultimately, you'll use metrics and analytics to assess the current talent landscape of an organization and outline recommendations as you create a presentation for senior leadership.
*During the 2 weeks of this self-directed course please plan on spending 4-6 hours per week for assignments, discussion board participation and a project.
October 5 - 19, 2022
The need to justify spending and the use of resources applies as much to talent as it does to business in general. With that in mind, how can HR professionals show the return on investment in human resource programs? In this course, you'll walk through the steps involved in conducting a credible return on investment (ROI) analysis and be provided strategies for overcoming common ROI challenges such as isolating the impact of a program and converting the benefits of a program to a monetary value. This course also goes beyond the steps involved in calculating ROI – it provides learners with a framework to decide when ROI makes sense (and when it does not) as well as tools for planning a successful ROI and effectively communicating the results to key stakeholders.

Ivy League Curricula and Top-Ranked Faculty
eCornell is Cornell University’s online learning platform, which provides online professional and executive development to students around the world. eCornell courses are all developed by Cornell University faculty, and often include practical insights from other industry experts. All eCornell course content comes from top-rated programs with proven curricula.
Expert Led, with Structured Flexibility
eCornell courses are online and expert led with structured flexibility. Courses are facilitated by subject-matter experts, who will guide you, challenge you, and help you apply the course concepts to your real-world, on-the-job circumstances. Each course has a defined start and end date, but is designed to accommodate the schedules of busy professionals and allow students to complete their work at the times that work best for them, daytime, evening, or weekends.
Start and End Dates Drive Completion
A critical part of successful self-directed learning is to have a finish line, so eCornell courses have defined start dates and end dates. Most eCornell courses take about six to eight hours to complete, over a two-week period.
Interaction & Collaboration
As an eCornell student, you are never alone in your course. You are part of a cohort of other credit union staff members from across North America. Required discussions play an important part in your course, giving you and your classmates the opportunity to share and exchange your own experiences, best practices, perspectives, and examples. All this shared learning is facilitated by an instructor who brings both subject-matter expertise and real-world experience. Your interaction with peers from different organizations, and backgrounds fosters collaboration, networking, and a lot of practical, shared learning.
Emphasis on Practice and Application
The ability for you to interact with expert instructors, to ask questions and receive answers, and to learn with—and from—other participants keeps the learning interesting, practical, and above all, relevant to your work.
And there’s one more key component: practice opportunities.
Most eCornell courses include a project, which challenges you to apply the course concepts to your own organization. Others include interactive scenarios, simulations, and other engaging practice activities. All courses include tools, techniques, or job aids that you can put to immediate use in your work.
Every certificate program and course is developed with very tangible outcomes in mind. To eCornell, it’s not enough if a course helps you to know something, or even to understand it. Programs are designed to go much further, to equip you to do something—better or for the first time—at your job.
We ask, “after completing this course, what will participants be able to analyze, identify, assess, implement, calculate, or influence that they couldn’t before?” eCornell courses draw on a variety of components to provide this practical learning:
- Discussions
- Projects
- Practice activities
- Short videos
- Interviews with industry experts
- Online tools and downloadable resources
- Case studies and examples
- The guidance of an instructor
The eCornell approach positions you as an active participant in the learning process, allowing you to build the necessary problem-solving skills at your own pace and in your own style to confront the real challenges you face on the job and in life.
Participants who complete all four courses and assignments satisfactorily will receive an Executive Certificate in Strategic HR Leadership from Cornell University and CUES, demonstrating their knowledge and ability to apply what they’ve learned to their careers and credit unions. All assignments are evaluated by the Certificate Program Facilitator.
