Subject: A little humor to brighten up your day

Hello UAI Network,

Thought I’d share a short music video I recently created.  I felt our team at Consumers Energy needed a bit of a humorous boost while describing a topic that I’m guessing is on top of mind for all of us.

Let this be a reminder that…

1. Even though we are all doing important work, we can still have fun while we’re doing it.
2. If you can’t laugh at yourself, who can laugh at?
3. What crazy things can you think of to engage your teams in new and different ways?

Enjoy–>

I tend to think HR/People analytics is a topic under the umbrella of UAI.

Sam, I would be curious to know what some of the different areas are that you are including in your HR Scorecard. We just completed a brainstorming exercise to try and identify a few of the different areas we want to begin parsing together but we are a ways out from actually having a dashboard right now.

Thanks, 

Travis

Hi Silas,

We already include some diversity metrics on our dashboard and HR Scorecard and have been pulling more in depth data outside of the dashboard for D&I updates to our Executive Steering Committee and Employee Resource Groups.  We are still working on adding more data for insights.  Not too much discussion here because people or HR analytics is not a topic covered by UAI.  We had that discussion last week among advisory group members of EHRG (group of those involved with HR Metrics & Reporting)  and previously among members of the CEWD Workforce Planning Council that I am a member of.

Reach out to me if you want to discuss more offline.

Subject: Developing a Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Strategy and Dashboard

Hello UAI Members,

We are currently working on a Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DE&I) strategy that is firmly based in data analytics. As a company, we want to reflect the communities we have the pleasure of serving. With that, our communities are evolving and we must do the same. Moreover, we understand that representation matters. To fundamentally understand our internal demographics in contrast to the communities we serve will allow us to benchmark, goal set and move strategically.

Along with developing a Diversity, Equity & Inclusion strategy, we are in the process of developing a DE&I dashboard. Issues we are currently discussing in regard to our strategy and dashboard include: how transparent do we want to be with the reporting (e.g. all ee access), data security, what specific metrics to track, etc.

We would ultimately like to connect with other UAI members that are working on or who have a DE&I strategy and/or DE&I dashboards. We would like to connect with others dealing with the same issues, so we can learn from you to help develop our strategy and dashboards.

Please feel free to reply to this post or reply directly to me to connect. Thanks in advance for your help!

Respectfully,

     Silas
