  • People Analytics & Insights
  • Leverage data to illuminate trends (e.g., attrition risk in critical skills, shift staffing dynamics, succession health).
  • Convert insights into simple, compelling narratives that build alignment and prompt action; measure impact and iterate.
  • HR Operating Model & Governance
  • Orchestrate with Total Rewards, Talent Acquisition, People Experience, Talent Management, and Strategic Analytics to deliver integrated solutions at pace.
