Next was a fantastic talk by Madhu Viswanathan on the efficacy of activity-based incentive plans at the Indian School of Business. Viswanathan shows that rewarding sales managers for the behavior of their teams leads to significantly higher sales, with strong implications for #PeopleAnalytics. Highly recommend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ptpC2PWos4Y (8/13)

Next was an excellent pair of talks at the #NBER Personnel Economics conference. The first talk by Elizabeth Lyons on remote dyad coordination is some of the best experimental evidence I've seen on the short-term effects of constrained vs. flex scheduling. Highly recommend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKMZ82vj7BM (3/10) #economics #RemoteWork #PeopleAnalytics

Next was an important panel conversation with data workers at @FAccT with Brook Hansen, Krista Pawloski, and Krystal Kauffman, moderated by @alex. This is a discussion that everyone who deals with data, #AI, #PeopleAnalytics, and #management needs to hear. Highly recommend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZkcZt3qxHQ (7/8) #FAccT2023

Mein erster Tröt kommt direkt mit spannenden Neuigkeiten: #NewPaperAlert

Die neue Studie zeigt, dass der Einsatz von algorithmischen Systemen im Personalwesen das Vertrauen von Arbeitnehmenden in ihre Vorgesetzten mindern kann, bis zu einem Punkt, an dem sie über einen Jobwechsel nachdenken. Zur #openaccess Studie zum Thema #PeopleAnalytics geht es hier ⬇️

I read and highlighted/commented on the ENTIRE EU AI act draft and annexes from a people analytics perspective so YOU DON'T HAVE TO! This isn't the final draft, and what was reported last week indicate that there are some significant changes, but hopefully this helps people quickly get to what matters for people analytics

Last was an incredible conversation with Jeffrey Hales on corporate governance, metrics, and stakeholder theory on the Stakeholder Podcast. Tons of great thoughts here on the importance and limits of publicly reported metrics, and this will only become more relevant as investors demand more clarity into the internal workings of firms. Highly recommend https://podcasts.google.com/u/1/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5saWJzeW4uY29tLzI3NzI1MC9yc3M/episode/NDdlY2RiMWEtMGVhMC00MWE2LWFiMGQtYTgxZWIzMTc1NmNi?sa=X&ved=0CAUQkfYCahcKEwjw1ezKxZb-AhUAAAAAHQAAAAAQLA (10/10) #ESG #management #PeopleAnalytics

Next was an incredible talk by @Julia on data #journalism, #tech, #platforms, #transparency, and more at #SiliconFlatirons. Among other essential topics, I loved the portion that gets at the need for external auditing, validation, and reporting on high-risk algorithms like hiring and other #PeopleAnalytics applications. Highly recommend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJDPBn2OZFA (10/11)

Next was a fascinating discussion with Golvine de Rochambeau on how monitoring workers can backfire on the @voxdev podcast. Using #data and observations from a study installing GPS devices in trucks in Liberia, de Rochambeau convincingly shows that monitoring for monitoring's sake can have extremely negative effects. Highly recommend https://podcasts.google.com/u/1/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9hdWRpb2Jvb20uY29tL2NoYW5uZWxzLzQ5NzA3NzQucnNz/episode/dGFnOmF1ZGlvYm9vbS5jb20sMjAyMy0wMy0yOTovcG9zdHMvODI3MTg3Nw?sa=X&ved=0CAUQkfYCahcKEwig5vyQkIX-AhUAAAAAHQAAAAAQLA (7/11) #PeopleAnalytics

Next was a fantastic talk by @stevie on human-centered #AI for detecting dangerous mental #health behaviors online at AI for Good. I was a little worried by the talk title, but Chancellor treats the topic with the care it deserves and transparently discusses tradeoffs - folks in the management and #PeopleAnalytics community should pay attention to this approach. Highly recommend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BwyGGXMncSU (3/7)

Next was an excellent talk by Heather Haveman on work-life balance at Digital Futures at Work Research Centre (Digit). While I prefer the term "work-life integration" myself, this was a fascinating dive into #Glassdoor data with surprising results - while women discuss it more in postings, there's no gender differences in work-life balance complaints. Highly recommend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ZCqRcH3TP4 (3/11) #HR #PeopleAnalytics

First in a short series of videos where I discuss some core #PeopleAnalytics metrics from a #Humanyze perspective https://www.linkedin.com/posts/benjaminwaber_workplaceanalytics-activity-7045101797811593216-KWrU?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop

First was a great talk by Stacy T. Sims on the biases in #wearables against female #athletes at the Sloan #Sports #Analytics Conference. This has direct implications for women not just in sports performance but in everyday life, highly recommend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ivcc0LwSOU (2/10) #PeopleAnalytics

Next was a fantastic talk by Karen Levy on the effect of #AI on #truckers at #UNCC. Truckers are the canary in the coal mine for workers, and Levy's amazingly detailed work shows how the introduction of new technology and approaches can have profoundly negative effects, even if the intentions of regulators are good. Highly recommend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i835d7T-_NE (4/9) #PeopleAnalytics

First was an excellent talk by Benjamin Alamar on data-centered decision making at the Sloan #Sports #Analytics Conference. This is a fantastic look at how the most advanced data infused industries effectively integrate #PeopleAnalytics into their decision making, highly recommend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m7vJ7ozZj3U (2/9)

First was an enjoyable panel on building #NHL rosters at the Sloan #Sports #Analytics Conference with Kate Madigan, Brett Pederson, Meghan Chayka, and Dominic Moore. The conversation explores the challenges a hard salary cap brings to roster management, and I liked how the continuous nature of #hockey reveals similarities to #PeopleAnalytics https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4kPyFrX2T4o (2/10)

Last was a great panel on soccer (football) #analytics at the Sloan Sports Analytics Conference with Omar Chaudhuri, Sarah Rudd, Mladen Sormaz, and John Muller. Hearing an advanced #PeopleAnalytics field, in this case soccer, integrates analytics into their decision making is so insightful for learning where the rest of industry needs to go. Highly recommend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojGgwndb5aA (6/6)

Next was an amazing talk by Ashley Mears on #algorithms and creative #labor at the @oiioxford. Mears covers the bleeding edge of #work that has been profoundly shaped by algorithms, and gives essential perspective into how organizations design systems to influence workers. Highly recommend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4okMEdxgEWY (4/6) #management #PeopleAnalytics #HR #platforms #creators

Next was day 2 of the Sloan #Sports #Analytics Conference, with a number of banner panels directly related to #management and #PeopleAnalytics. As I've said before, sports analytics is where people analytics needs to get to to reach its full potential. Shane Battier and Daryl Morey in particular are standouts as always, and I highly recommend the sessions on #basketball analytics, #moneyball, and building #football rosters https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=02p2p_TdwTk (8/9)

Looks like a nice collected series of must-read articles coming out from #HBR, and I'm thrilled that they've included one of my pieces on #PeopleAnalytics. Of course now I'll have to update this article since my thoughts have evolved a lot since I wrote it 😁 https://store.hbr.org/product/hbr-s-10-must-reads-on-performance-management-with-bonus-article-reinventing-performance-management-by-marcus-buckingham-and-ashley-goodall/10641

The fact that in American football drafting it has become common sense to view draft picks as lottery tickets, despite the volumes of metrics and video and interviews, yet companies are *sure* that they're hiring the best candidate with a resume and maybe five hours max of interviews never ceases to amaze me #PeopleAnalytics
