Big Data in the Retail Industry

The ROI on using big data makes a clear case for the growing use of Big Data in the retail industry. What may seem to be futuristic is, in fact, coming to your workplace sooner than you may realize. For example, data can be used to predict which applicants are likely to become successful employees or to predict which employees are likely to voluntarily quit in the next six months. The data sources used to render these predictions come from public sources and information provided by applicants and employees, as well as from internal company records. While companies are investing heavily in artificial intelligence and data-science approaches to decision-making, employers continue to operate with little legal guidance that translates seamlessly into the world of Big Data. This webinar will address how employers can:

• Work to reduce the gap between the data being considered and the desired outcome of the selection process in hiring
• Resist the temptation to allow artificial intelligence to entirely replace intuition and business intelligence
• A better approach is to incorporate analytics into decision-making to augment and inform processes
• Ways professionals within both the HR and legal space can better understand and anticipate “predictably irrational” human behavior

Dr. Zev Eigen presents a unique examination of the future impact of data analytics on workplace decision-making.
