Event New Year

Happy New Work, Vitra, Visier & BASF

Dear visitor!

Eleven days have passed in 2024 and I wish you a very happy New Year! That is still okay, since wishes for happiness are regardless of time and place anyway, right?

But as you read correctly the first words are Happy New Work, and that is more accurate for someone whose business is to improve human resource management (HRM) by People Analytics, AI, and Digital Assessment.

So I hope the first 11 days were good for you, and you started your work with excitement and energy just like me after some relaxing days off with loved ones, good food (my first duck in the oven thanks to TV cook Steffen Henssler!), and walks in the woods and at the Rhine.

And this time off was needed since I had been busy the last few months with, for example, a client report on HR software for executive search, our own new market report on People Analytics & AI with 100+ tools (coming soon), the re-design of Schorberg Analytics’ website and our new flyer. Moreover I am now also operating from Workspace Factory Campus in Düsseldorf: A unique place for inspiration, co-working, and community.

But what’s up and maybe interesting for you?

Let’s start with Vitra – the well-known design furniture company. Due to their Innovation People Lab at Zukunft Personal Europe 2023, I was invited for two special days at their headquarters in Weil am Rhein on the first two days in February: I am thrilled to join this Learning Journey “New Work” on the Vitra Campus. Perhaps you will be there too?

Those interested in People Analytics are aware of Visier: A leading HR platform in this field that started its global success 2010 in Vancouver. Next Thursday, 18 January, there will be an online session on how BASF Performance Materials has transformed HR Analytics with Visier. I am looking foward to this case study! More: https://events.visier.com/BASF

As an independent People & Digital HR Analyst there is nothing in it for me promoting this event (or the Vitra event), and you should also check out other vendors as well like ChartHop, Crunchr, Erudit AI, functionHR, HRForecast, Ingentis, Knoetic, Lanteria HR, One Model, or Orgnostic – Or turn to our People Analytics & AI market 2024 report shortly ;-).

By the way: Have you received our free PDF Big Book List on People Analytics yet? Check it out too!

Have a nice end of the week and all the best for you!

Artificial Intelligence

How I wrote a book about Artificial Intelligence in Human Resources in 3 hours

Dear guest!

Artifical Intelligence and especially Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) is driving human productivity to new heights! No news for those using ChatGPT or other tools like Midjourney or DeepL. And of course the application of Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT has entered Human Resources Management too.

Recruiters use it for describing roles and optimizing interviews, professional assessors and developers of psychometric tests find items for their instruments much quicker, and leaders and HR managers communicate better with their people by AI-assisted employee survey and feeback apps. But these are just a few applications of the new IT-Tools, and one can find nearly to any tasks regarding the employee life cycle a help by the software algorithms.

Since my training in Data Science with Python, Big Data, and Machine Learning in 2020 and my prior HR experience, I wanted to write a book about »Artificial Intelligence in Human Resource Management«. But this of course would have been required quite a lot of time and resources which were always competeting with more important challenges of my position as an entrepreneur and a self-employed person.

In fact I had started already on this book project, did research on articles, books, and tools, wrote a content and some texts. And some of my AI in HRM results I published yet in this Newsblog and on my LinkedIn profile.

Besides that I participated in various events, workshops, and online-seminars about this topic – just recently last Friday morning, October 20, 2023, I was part of an online-seminar held by collegues from ITB Consulting, a professional assessment company settled in Bonn (the place of my academic education in Work and Organizational Psychology).

Although AI in HRM in this event was just one out of four points on their agenda and with my pre-knowledge, I still learned something. And of course it is always interesting to see how collegues with the same background in Psychology, HRM, and Information Technology tackle a rising electronic star!

Furthermore the event and several other in the last couple of weeks reminded me that it makes a lot of sense to complete some basic work about AI in HRM. Or even better: Finish writing my book! And not in months nor weeks: But in hours and days!

Actually the first draft of my book about AI in HRM with more than 80 pages I created in really three hours! As you probably know no one could have done this – Not even a higly-trained expert in the field with very fast writings skills.

But I think you are not that surprised anymore since November 30, 2022, that this can be realized! And I am sure you have guessed by now who (or better: what) lent me a hand in my new authorship: Yes, ChatGPT did the job for me! Our personal assistant for all kinds of tasks, our words when the paper stays blank, and our expert in whatever you may wonder.

Exactly, ChatGPT-4, the paid version of OpenAI (highly recommendable), came up with the contents of the book, and the texts for its chapters. Naturally not on his own, but by the promps I gave to the growing GenAI tool (look and try the exiting plugins from the store inside the abo version, as well as the tools from the menu with DALL·E3 and the Advances Data Analysis expansion).

So, what was left up for me? Well, first I needed of course to check randomly the quality of the text and whether it made sense. That was the case and although I observed some repetions of phrases (most of them in the introduction and conclusion of a chapter), what I read was more than usable. Especially of course as the output of ChatGPT-4 was in English language (which I wanted); But I suppose even a mother tongue person would profit from it.

So, I created a table of content, formated the titles and subtitles, and copied and pasted the chapter texts in my office document – what took the most time until then [I have not figured out yet how to do this automatically, but a little work I wanted to do in this stage of the book production also! ;-)]

But even though a bunch of work has been done so far, there are still some steps to finalise he book: Like reading the more than 80 pages, checking for sense and logic and missing contents. And make it more readable by creating graphics and tables (but I bet GenAI can helps me here very much too, and I already designed some covers of the book with the help of DALL·E 3).

So now I have a small book titled »Artificial Intelligence in Human Resources Management: From Potential to Praxis« with more than 80 pages containing 13 chapters, 39 sub-chapters, and an appendix.

These are the chapter titles of the book:

  1. Introduction
  2. Fundamentals of Artificial Intelligence
  3. Revolutionizing Recruitment with AI
  4. AI in Employee Development
  5. Enhancing Employee Engagement through AI
  6. AI in Workforce Planning and Analytics
  7. Compensation and Benefits Optimization
  8. Leveraging AI for Diversity and Inclusion
  9. The Role of AI in HR Compliance and Risk Management
  10. Challenges and Risks of AI in Human Resources
  11. The Future of AI in Human Resources
  12. Case Studies and Real-world Applications
  13. Conclusion
    Appendix: Resources and Tools for AI in HR

But as I already mentioned that was not it: Aftewards I used DALL·E 3 wich is intergrated in the ChatCPT-4 Plus abo (US$ 20 per month) for creating an appropriate book cover which resulted in the following four nice suggestions:

I liked most out of these four the one in the right top corner with the shaking hands and also the right bottow corner with the charts and people. Since GenAI and AI in general is made to support us humans (and machines) to get work faster and better done, I chose my first favourite picture for the title of this article.

And you know what? I wil not keep the book for myself to sell it, nor it was it just merely an experiment! I will hand it over electronically in PDF to everyone who is interested in the topic – And who has not the time, resources or knowledge yet (hurry! And it is easy!) to hire ChatGPT or some competing chatbot like BARD or Claude as a ghost writer.

I only will ask you for your name and E-mail in order to send you a copy and to stay in touch for more exiting stuff about HR Tech that is coming out of the Schorberg Analytics pipeline with focus on People Analytics, Online-Assessment, and of course AI in HRM.

The publication date of the book is planned until the end of next week, so if you want your copy on time, take the chance of showing your interest by sending me a short message (e.g.: e-book: AI in HRM) via the contact form or at my LinkedIn Profil along with your E-mail-adress!

That´s it for now.

Have a good day and all the best,

Stefan Klemens

HR Data Science: Salary Prediction at Trivago and StepStone

Dear guest!

On Tuesday evening, 29th of August 2023, I was at the Düsseldorf Data Science Meetup at Trivago, the Online search company for hotels, in their extraordinary headquarters in the Medienhafen of Düsseldorf, my birth city.

I left my office in Solingen early in the afternoon that day since I met with my business friend Dominik Rühl before the event – and walked in the sun from the Düsseldorfer Landtag (state parliament) at the Rhine to our meeting point at UCI cinema near Trivago.

It was good to see Dominik after about five years – And we had a fruitful exchange on our common topics artificial intelligence (AI), recruitment, skills, and digital assessment as well as some private issues. He is now working as a HR & Recruiting Manager at Advance Business Partner GmbH based nearby in the city of Neuss on the other side of the Rhine. The consulting company focuses on mobility services in different areas like recruitment, innovation, and transformation management.

Although the summer and weather this year in Germany is pretty unstable, we enjoyed sitting outside with our drinks at unique brewery bar Eigelstein.

Find out more about the Düsseldorf Data Science Meetup Group with its interests in Data Science, Machine Learning and Python/R, on this website.

Arriving at Trivago

At 6 pm it was time to walk to nearby Trivago building, finished in 2018. The individual modern styled entrance area and the café behind offers a glimpse on how the interior of the building is decorated (see this article and this article about the New Work culture at Trivago and the architecture of the headquarter´s spaces.)

Surprisingly we, with another guest, were the first participants arriving (ok, it was half our before the official start and talks started even later), but were soon picked up by Gina from Trivago. Together we (and a cart full of pizza in yellow boxes for the data people) were lifted by one of the elevators to the top floor for the location event.

A stunning view to the south-west skyline from the roof terrace reached our eyes, and Dominik, the coming participants, and me enjoyed drinks and pizza before the event started at 7 pm.

Our co-host Aida Orujova gave us a very warm welcome, she introduced the speakers, and broke the ice by asking who is from data science, who is from engineering, and who just there to know more about salaries.

First talk: Alexander Fischer, Trivago

Alexander Fischer from Trivago started with his talk about is passion for the programming and statistics software R, and his (and the economists´) “Swiss knife” methodical approach for prediction outcome variables: Linear Regression. He showed how he and his team used this classical algorithm with packages R´s fixest, and PyFixest to predict wage by using the variables education and ability (e.g. intelligence).

In his presentation of the problem in doing that (“The error term is correlated with the dependent variable”) he referred to a recent study using data from 59,000 Swedish men published 2023 by Marc Keuschnigg, Arnout van de Rijt, and Thijs Bol in the European Sociological Review (number 20, pages 1-14), titled “The plateauing of cognitive ability among top earners” (online article published here on January 28, 2023).

Since AB-Testing (or randomized experimental and control group design) is not feasible in the model (sending randomized individuals in one group for example one year more to college) the classical solution in Social Sciences and Psychology are Quasi-Experiments which were first introduced in the literature by standard book “Quasi-Experimentation: Design and Analysis Issues for Field Settings” written by Cook and Campell (1979).

As a solution for not manipulation experimental the years of education as predictor of the wage Alexander used therefore a variable called “distance to college” as a natural differing factor between people regarding their years of education.

The data scientist from Trivago further pointed out in his “The Secret Sauce” slide that taking the role of companies into account in the corresponding regression model, the computation is quite demanding (millions of employees, thousands of companies, 20 years of data) – But he presented of course a solution for it (and that was not Spark!).

At the end with the help of programming language Python and package PyFixest Alexander showed that the prediction of salary can be done, and he answered the questions of the audience.

Second talk: Michael Matuschek & Tim Elfrink, StepStone

In the second talk this evening we learned from Michael Matuschek and Tim Elfrink how StepStone is predicting the salaries of all kinds of jobs for their salary products.

Michael begun the session, and gave an overview about StepStone´s salary products include the Salary Planer, Salary on Listings, and Auto-generated Salary SEO pages.

As a result of a 2020 study and further research before it turned out that salary is for 96 % of the respondents the most important criteria when choosing a job (flexible working ours, career & training opportunities, and corporate culture, reach only 90 % resp. 91 %).

Michael told us also about the challenges in prediction salary at StepStone regarding data distribution and features (more white collar jobs and little part-time data for example) and: The gender pay gap, quality assurance, feature engineering, the underlying model and the used algorithm, as well as the metrics (main business KPIs) accuracy and generalisation.

After him Tim Elfrink took the mic and explained the broader infrastructure of the predicting IT system with AWS and the auto deployment of the model. Further subtitles of his presentation were for example: Creating scalable infrastructure and development environment.

A number of questions (and some hints for improving their model) came from the participants, and Michael and Tim were happily answering them.

Closing, socks, and outlook

At 8.30 pm presenter Aida Orujova returned to the stage again and thanked all guests and speakers for being there. As several others I took the chance to talk with some participants (see header picture), before I needed to catch my tram to travel home.

My second Düsseldorf Data Science Meetup was another wonderful experience (read about my first here), and the scheduled next event in October 2023 is of course on my list.

Oh, one last thing (we learned this from the apple guy, right?) I did not mention yet. Before the start the participants could grab one, two, or three promotional gifts from Trivago as shown in the picture: One for using your hand to write (still common among a few people I was told), one for storing big data in a small piece of metal, and one to keep your feet between 28 ° C and 33 ° C (surface temperature of the extremities as I learned writing this sentence) when external temperatures fall in later autumn.

Promotional gifts for the participants of the Düsseldorf Data Science Meetup from Trivago. Foto: Stefan Klemens

As I like to test digital and analogue things (I have high scores on openness to experience (see the Big Five Personality Traits) and curiosity which is one of my signature strengths according to the VIA-Model), the usefulness of the trivagonian socks to prevent cold toes needed to be proven also.

Note: If you like to know more about psychological traits and psychometric assessment of these for HR recruiting, selection, and development, then click on my work as a Work Psychologist as presented here: https://www.digitalassessment.de/

I can say that my feet got warmer but the real test of course – and perhaps then like a case study (N = 1) with more treatments like a stepstonian, a sipgatian, and quantopian fabric as well a control (no treatment, that is walking without socks! preparing for that right know!) – will be conducted in colder times which are coming soon to Germany. I will report on it! 😉 And perhaps you wanna join the experiment to lift the “N”, so results will be more valid?

Me testing the Trivago socks: And I am smiling realizing the double meaning of the words and symbols matching the two main areas of the company. Foto: Stefan Klemens

With this of course rather funny ending, I thank very much the organizers and speakers for this evening, and Trivago for hosting the meeting! Will we see us next time on a Düsseldorf Data Science Meetup (or another place if you like)?

Many greeting and all the best to you!

People Analytics World 2023 in Amsterdam

Dear guest!

As a not so hot summer in Germany has meteorologically passed business returns to daily work. And events like professional conferences and exhibitions welcome participants all over the world and from almost any industries and areas in well-known cities around the globe.

This is also the case for Human Resource Management (HRM), where we see not only comprehensive events like the Zukunft Personal Europe 2023 in Cologne in September or the Unleash World 2023 in Paris in October, but also events on HR Tech, Digital HR, and HR & People Analytics like the People Analytics World.

Since these topics are the focus of Schorberg Analytics, I take a closer look to such comprehensive or special business meetings coming up the next four months until December 2023 in several of my newsblog articles. Today we raise our eyes to near The Netherlands and its famous capital, where the following event will take place on Thursday of this week:

The People Analytics World Conference 2023 in Amsterdam

After London in April this year the People Analytics World Conference in Amsterdam organized by Tucana Global SLU will open its doors in DoubleTree Centraal Station on September 7, 2023.

In-person tickets are sold out by now, but registering for on-demand access to the recordings afterwards for the first 3 months is still possible for 145 Euro without VAT as I checked today.

Among the 16 speakers and organizations involved are Patrick Coolen (KennedyFitch, before: ABN Amro), David Green (Insight222), Rekha Gurnani (from Box; Service: cloud, content managmeent & file sharing), Celine Ingenegeren and Lucie Vottova (ING), Jan Nieuweboer (Rabobank), Thomas Rasmussen (Shell), Alise Rupeka (SITA; Air transport communications and information technology), Ronald Schep (de Volksbank), and Neeraj Tandon (Philips).

Solution sponsors and vendors include: Visier, Crunchr, Relative Insight, Ennova, and Insight222.

The agenda shows for example the following title sessions (company):

  • Powering Organisational Development with People Analytics (Shell)
  • Skills Analysis for Automated Learning Design (de Volksbank)
  • Elevating the HR Conversation: From Question-asking to Action-taking (Crunchr, SITA)
  • Analysing Pay Equity across Gender and Ethnicity (Box)
  • How to Establish People Analytics as a Common Practice (An Academic Perspective) (KennedyFitch)
  • From Problem to Product: Scaling People Analytics (ING)
  • Optimising Performance and Wellbeing for a Hybrid Workforce (Rabobank)
  • Designing an Employee Experience Programme for your Company (Philips)

Besides these sessions there are a discussion, a roundtable an a panel as well as four networking breaks including the reception at the end on Sky Lounge roof terrace. Note: A number of sessions will be held parallel.

Final words

The event is especially relevant for HR leaders from the finance and tech industry since there are three speakers each from these (Finance: de Volksbank, ING, Rabobank; and ABN Amro if you like), Tech: SITA, Box, Philips).

But of course the event is not only for them as David Green, the chair of the conference, distinguished expert, and book author says: “People Analytics World is a must-attend event for anyone working or interested in the field.”

Maybe you are attending the conference in person, but if not I recommend you checking out the agenda and safe your On Demand pass for the recordings if the content appeals to you.

A pity I cannot be there since work has to be done but I wish everyone participating a great experience.

Have a nice day and best wishes!

Final words

As you can see we have again a fine line-up at the Zukunft Personal Europe 2023 in Rhine metropolis Köln. Last year I watched among other sessions for example a nice HR Analytics case study from Wuppertaler Stadtwerke (or WSW, a local energy and public transport company), met some interesting new and known people, and had generally a great time on my two days there.

Check the HR expo for yourself and make up your own schedule with the app: It is easy and thus you will not miss a session (and are aware of crossing times).

And if you will be at the Zukunft Personal Europe in Cologne in the middle of September, and like to meet and exchange thoughts on artificial intelligence in HRM, People & HR Analytics, skills and digital assessment, then drop me a short message and / or connect via LinkedIn.

I am looking forward for exiting days and meeting you.

Have a good day and all the best!

Stefan Klemens
