March 2020: #PeopleAnalyticsMonth

Posted 4 months ago

Around the world meetups of HR and people analytics communities are forming. Led by independent community leaders from their local area, these grassroots communities meet to share industry experiences, stories and enthusiasm - as well as usually a drink and some food. The diversity of experience and knowledge in the room is often vast, ranging from industry veterans to newcomers, from technologists to HR generalists. Everyone is welcome.

Since August, we have been signposting people towards these communities through our Global HR and People Analytics Meetup Map, and our Global Meetup Calendar. Now in March 2020, on behalf of the meetup organisers around the world, we invite you to find and celebrate these local people analytics communities as part of #PeopleAnalyticsMonth.

There isn't a meetup in my area - what do I do?Each Meetup is run by an independent organiser, who decided to start their community and run their own events. If there isn't a meetup in your area, you have two choices: 1) You wait for someone else to start a meetup in your city or 2) You start the meetup in your area.

If you would like to start a group, you won't be alone - you can join the Meetup Organiser Group, you can use our How to Run a Meetup Guide, and you can attend our regular calls on running Meetups. To start your own meetup and get involved, please complete this form.

Hopefully see you at an HR and People Analytics Meetup soon.
