Imagine the amount of data available in an organization with over 54,000 employees.

The goal is gaining actionable insights in what really matters to employees and which human capital investments really drive business results. This information is vital for higher management. The team applies two methods to generate these insights: statistical hypothesis testing and exploratory data analysis, which can help uncover unexpected patterns in the data that may lead to new hypotheses. With all projects, it is regularly checked whether the insights that they may generate are actionable, and ensuing recommendations would be in line with ING’s ethical and legal code.

“Data, data and more data… there’s

no getting away from people analytics. It’s so important, that we set

up a separate team for it within the HR department

at ING.”

Hein Knaapen, Global Chief HR Officer

“We have a strict code of only using People

Analytics for the good: hiring the right people and enabling them to make the

most of themselves.”
