3. Structure an analytic investigation of pressing workforce risks and opportunities
4. Utilize an HR Analytic Toolkit for comparing and visualizing workforce data

According to Glenn Mack, MetLife's Director of HR Information Management, "We our currently transforming our HR department into a data-driven culture. The Workforce Analytics workshop proved to be an invaluable experience for me and my team, providing several effective approaches to leveraging human capital data. It also focused on the stages of data analysis that ensure true business value, a critical component of how we empower our HR professionals."

"We are delighted to be able to translate our extremely successful 2007 series into an enhanced program of North American workshops in 2008," said Brian Kelly, President of Infohrm North America.
