Workday People Analytics：利用人工智能、机器学习和增强分析的优势
文/Pete Schlampp
有人说，数据是新石油。但是几乎在所有公司，其生成的数据远远超过他们能够分析利用的数据。而在很长一段时间里，Workday的目标都是帮助公司从数据中汲取有价值的见解。从内置报告和分析开始，随着Workday Prism Analytics和Workday Data-as-a-Service的推出，随着数据量、速度和种类的增长，Workday扩大了产品范围，帮助客户充分利用他们的数据。
Workday Prism Analytics致力于开放性和将非Workday的数据引入系统，是您的财务和人力资源团队的数据中心。今年夏初，Workday通过收购增强分析的市场领导者Stories.bi，在分析之旅中又向前迈进了一步。
今天，我们很高兴地宣布Workday People Analytics，是一个全新的应用程序，它将向高管、组织领导人和人力资源业务合作伙伴提供关于他们的员工队伍中最关键的趋势视图，以及了解趋势的最可能的驱动因素。它将利用强大的人工智能(AI)、机器学习和增强分析技术，提供动态创建的关键指标，并伴有解释性叙述——我们称之为故事。
How We Got Here
首先需要一些背景。注意让Workday People Analytics与我们现有的产品一起工作。由于Power of One，Workday有一个数据模型，因此我们的应用程序能够非常轻松地处理有关人员的数据。对于Workday人力资本管理(HCM)的客户来说，Workday People Analytic将利用这些数据进行开箱即用。即使对于那些不使用Workday HCM的客户，他们也可以通过Workday Prism Analytics从任何HCM系统中引入外部数据，因此这些见解仍将可用。
That’s Great, Now What?
其次，我们必须以更好的方式将有价值的信息交给高管。因此，Workday利用了增强分析将许多应用于企业问题的AI功能集合在一起，包括：
自动模式检测功能，可以查找人类可能看不到的重要变化
图形处理以查找大量数据集之间的连接
机器学习预测最重要的问题供您查看
用自然语言来解释一个简单的故事中发生的事情
Workday的人工智能将搜索数百万种可能的数据场景，并确定优先级，以故事形式自动向高管推送个性化见解。故事为正在发生的事情提供了一种自然的语言解释。洞察力可以是积极的，也可以是消极的——它们只是你应该知道的事情。它们会自动地对你的数据进行更深入的挖掘，并告诉你为什么会这样。这为领导者提供了在做业务决策时所需要的基本信息。
See What Matters Most
Workday People Analytics是我们第一个使用增强分析的地方。它将为管理人员，组织领导者和人力资源业务合作伙伴提供可操作的指导，将动态创建的故事与静态内容相结合，涵盖组织构成、多样性、招聘、保留和人员流失以及人才和绩效等方面。
您将看到最重要的事情，以便您可以在最短的时间内做出最佳决策。这将使得组织的行动，创新和学习速度更快。
Workday People Analytics不是自动生成针对特定问题的预测，而是提供一种叙述，以指导管理人员在一个广泛的领域中找到聚焦点——无论是具体的团队、位置、客户还是产品线。它使用机器学习来预测和展示真正重要的东西。换句话说，Workday People Analytics会告诉您需要了解的内容。
例如，一位人事主管可能会收到一条消息，表明新员工流动总体上有所增加，他们不仅应该关注伦敦的销售组织，还要考虑薪酬以及特定的招聘经理。该应用程序可帮助领导者专注于影响其业务的最重要问题，并回答以下高价值问题：
招聘过程中的瓶颈是什么？
该组织多样性的五大趋势是什么？我们作为一个社区如何发展？
整个组织可以从哪些卓越的领域中学习？
我们在哪里看到异常高的磨损？它背后的驱动力是什么？
因此，信息负载减少了1000倍——你会发现什么是最重要的，这样你就能在最短时间内做出最佳决策。组织行动、创新、学习更快，形成良性循环。
Future’s So Bright…
Workday People Analytics只是一个开始，我们很高兴能够进入数据的新时代，超越自助服务，进入人工智能能够有效预测的世界。未来，我们将在所有Workday的产品中应用增强分析。Workday People Analytics将于明年秋季提供给早期用户，通常在2019日历年末提供。单独销售给Workday HCM客户，它将作为Workday Prism Analytics的一部分提供。我们确信好戏还在后面。

Workday观点：如何解决企业未来的人才？ Taking the Next Steps for Tomorrow's Talent
作者：Leighanne Levensaler，workday高级副总裁，企业战略，工作日兼董事总经理兼Workday Ventures联席主管
文章导读：
我和一群商业和教育领袖，参加了在纽约举行的彭博下一个论坛(Bloomberg Next forum)。这次论坛的主题是：在如此大的变革中，我们如何才能更好地培养和支持我们的员工队伍。
它涵盖了一系列挑战：从如何让毕业生更好地为工作做好准备，到如何在人工智能和自动化时代让在职员工重新掌握技能，再到企业和教育工作者如何更好地合作。
在Workday与彭博资讯(Bloomberg Next)密切合作的原因是积极参与寻找解决这些复杂问题的方法。
我们在纽约进行了富有洞察力和启发性的讨论，以下是一些想法：
首先解决当地的问题
我们的世界面临着与劳动力发展有关的重大挑战。最好从当地开始。
例如，
是否有社区大学或贸易学校提供课程，让工人为预期的技能转变做好准备?
您的组织是否可以扩大与当地高等教育学校的沟通，让学生更好地掌握他们所需要的技能?
随着不断的创新，所需技能也不断变化。在Workday，与社区内的大学合作，让技术专家担任客座讲师，帮助学生为现实世界做准备。
寻找外部人才的新来源
企业说他们找不到需要的人才。但问题是否源于只招具有特定高等教育学位或工作经验的候选人?公司需要考虑他们是否过度要求实行纯种招聘。
在Workday，我们已经取得了巨大的成功，这些人才并没有遵循从高中到大学再到职业生涯的传统道路，但事实证明，它们都是出色的同事。多元化和包容性的员工队伍会让工作场所更快乐，并带来更大的商业成果。
从内部来源
一些最优秀的人才不一定能充分发挥他们的潜能或提供充分发展潜能的机会。这就是为什么真正了解自己的才能至关重要。
具体做法：通过定期使用技术来盘点你的员工和他们的技能，并建立一种流动和机会的文化。
拥抱创新的速度
创新对我们所有人来说都是一件好事，但它给劳动力发展带来了挑战。随着不断的创新，所需技能也要不断变化。
问题是，没有很多的公司愿意在重新培训技能中投入更多资金。在Workday和Bloomberg Next的调查中，半数受访企业预计，在应对新兴技术对劳动力影响的计划时，都面临预算紧张。
只有30%的企业和39%的教育工作者表示，他们正在合作帮助员工重新技能和重新培训。
我们可以在如何共同应对创新的影响方面更具创新性。另一个想法是:如何与教育机构的研究人员合作，帮助定义未来在不同行业中的角色?
我们都需要持续学习。学习如何去了解比去了解更好。

I recently joined a group of business and education leaders for a Bloomberg Next forum in New York that focused on how we can work together to best nurture and support our workforces in the midst of so much change.
Aptly named Tomorrow’s Talent, the forum covered a number of timely challenges, ranging from how we can better prepare graduates for the workplace, to how we can reskill current workers in the age of artificial intelligence and automation, to how businesses and educators can better collaborate.
Knowing that people are the heart of every enterprise, we at Workday are passionate about being an active participant in finding the solutions to these complex issues. That’s why we partnered closely with Bloomberg Next on the event, including a study that surveyed business and education leaders’ views on these topics and more. Not surprisingly, the findings confirm there’s a lot more work to do.
So where do we start? I shared some ideas in a blog prior to the forum. Following our insightful and inspiring discussions in New York, here are some additional ideas.
Solve Locally First
Our world faces significant challenges related to workforce development. We’d all like a systematic macro answer. The reality is that these problems are far too broad and complex to be addressed with a single universal solution. It’s best to start working locally to learn and gain momentum.
For example, are there community colleges or trade schools that offer classes that could prepare workers for an anticipated shift in skill sets? Are there local higher education feeder schools that your organization could broaden the dialogue with on how to better prepare students with both the hard and soft skills they need?
With constant innovation comes the constant change of needed skills.
At Workday, we’ve partnered with universities in our communities to have our technologists serve as guest lecturers and help students prepare for the real world. I would encourage all organizations to explore these types of opportunities, because as one participant said, “If you’re sitting still, you’re falling behind.”
Seek Out New Sources of External Talent
Businesses say they can’t find the talent they need. But could the problem stem from always returning to the same pond to fish—a pond that only has candidates with specific types of higher education degrees or job experiences? Companies need to consider whether they are practicing pedigree hiring by over-credentialing job requirements. A willingness to learn “how” is a stronger attribute than a willingness to learn “what,” especially in today’s rapidly changing world.
What’s more, pedigree hiring works against an organization’s efforts to create a more diverse and inclusive workforce. At Workday, we’ve had great success partnering with organizations such as Year Up and Opportunity@Work to gain talent that didn’t follow the traditional path from high school to college to career, yet have proved to be incredible colleagues. We know that a diverse and inclusive workforce makes for a happier workplace and results in greater business outcomes.
Source from Within
Some of our best talent is often right under our noses, but not necessarily in positions that can utilize their full potential or provide the opportunity to grow. That’s why it’s critical to truly know your talent.
How do you do that? By regularly using technology to take inventory of your people and their skills across the organization, democratizing learning experiences so that everyone has access to them, and building a culture of mobility and opportunity. This requires being radically transparent in communicating opportunities for career growth.
Embrace the Velocity of Innovation
Our dear friend, innovation. There’s no stopping it and we don’t want to. Innovation is a great thing for all of us, but it creates challenges in workforce development. With constant innovation comes the constant change of needed skills.
The problem is, not enough companies are willing to put more skin in the game when it comes to reskilling. In the Workday and Bloomberg Next survey, half of the corporate respondents anticipate facing budget constraints when deploying a plan to address the impact of emerging technologies on the workforce. So let me ask this: If a company is willing to put time, money, and resources behind responding to innovations that impact its competitive landscape or business model, why wouldn’t it also invest in innovations that impact its workforce?
Only 30 percent of corporations and 39 percent of educators say they are collaborating to help reskill and retrain employees.
Partnerships with other organizations can help ease the burden. Jon Kaplan, vice president of training and development at Discover Financial Services, discussed how their company is using Guild Education to manage a number of aspects of its recently announced Discover College Commitment program, which provides a full tuition ride for all employees seeking to pursue a university degree online from one of three selected universities.
The program got a lot of interest from the forum audience because it’s truly unique. Consider that only 30 percent of corporations and 39 percent of educators say they are collaborating to help reskill and retrain employees, according to the survey. I’m sure we can be more innovative about how we work together to address the impact of innovation. Another idea: What about partnering with researchers at educational institutions to help define the roles of the future within various industries?
I’ll end this post with one final thought: We all need to be in the business of continuous learning. Dr. Seuss is a favorite in our household with his endless wisdom and clever turns of phrase. And, as the good doctor says, “It’s better to learn how to know than to know.
