For your podcast, you may use Screencast-o-matic https://screencast-o-matic.com/ or PowerPoint recording for your accompanying slides. You will be shown how to create your podcast in class.

Instructions

Please select an organisation of your choice. This may be your own organisation, or one that you are familiar with. (Note: all apprentices must use their own organisation, in which to apply their skills and knowledge in analysing people data, and do not have the option to select another organisation of their choice)

In your podcast you are required to consider people analytics across the employee lifecycle and to determine how data can be used to solve people related issues. Consideration should be given to how complex data can be presented to a variety of stakeholders using a range of different formats.
