Matt Steinberg welcomes Humanyze CEO, Ben Waber, to discuss the growing science around people analytics -- the "big data" underlying day-to-day workplace interactions. Matt and Ben discuss how technology (e.g., 'next-gen' bluetooth and sensor-enabled employee ID badges) allows employers to collect and analyze impactful electronic and physical workplace data; how employers are effectively using people analytics to measure which employees/teams are interacting/collaborating, and where a lack of interaction/collaboration is hindering performance; the increased role people analytics should play before employers test/make key decisions on issues such as compensation, reporting relationships, and office configuration; and how people analytics can help frame thoughtful discussions around broader workplace issues, including gender bias and remote workforces.
