🎨 Learn about data storytelling in people analytics

We sure do love a good story, especially when the sand castles and enchanted forests are built on data. Yet crafting a great story takes dogged work. 🐕

There's a lot to ponder — What data should go into your story? What’s the narrative? And which visuals to use to present the dynamics? 

So we're stoked to have teamed up with Brent Dykes to help us craft an effective data story!

With over 15 years in the analytics industry, Brent has consulted some of the world’s most recognized brands, including Microsoft, Sony, Nike, Amazon, and Comcast. As a former analyst, manager, and technology evangelist at companies such as Omniture, Adobe, and Domo, Brent witnessed first-hand the challenges of communicating data effectively.

Brent’s also a published author, who regularly writes for Forbes, and has three amazing books to his name — with the latest one, Effective Data Storytelling: How to Drive Change with Data, Narrative, and Visuals, just recently out!

☕ Let's grab some coffee and talk Data Orchestration

☕ Grab your coffee mugs, for another People Analytics Coffee Chat is upon us! And this time, we'll be tuning in for the tunes of data orchestration! 🎻

🏎️ Make the right decisions — directly in Slack

We’re stoked to unveil that our AI for HR capabilities are now available right through your chat app — so you can make a big leap, while staying where you are!

Get answers to organizational questions, set a course of action, and make the right decisions, faster than ever before — directly in Slack.

With this release, you can ask your analyst-in-a-box any question around your organization, in natural language, and get a summary of metrics that tackle the question, a knowledge base snippet that puts things into perspective, and a link to explore the metrics in depth.

With the Orgnostic AI Slack integration you can ask questions in human language and get:

• a summarization of all the metrics and insights on the Orgnostic platform related to your question (with links to the platform where you can further explore and slice and dice the data)
• a broader answer to your question, using our knowledge base and pointers to a vast library of external resources on how to address specific questions. 

Read about everything you'll get to do with the new integration and sign up to see it in action:

Shuba Gopal and Cole Napper look at the aspects of belonging at work, who's accountable for it, and how the network of belonging you have at work can help create a place that is a lot less scary and more embracing.
