Our members are grounded both in the fields of (Human Resource) Management and Organisational Behaviour, and have specific expertise in research methods. Topics we cover include talent retention, turnover, learning analytics, person-organization fit, strategic HRM, management practices, leadership, and applicant selection. We have experience with a broad range of approaches to people analytics, including combining and analysing different data sources collected at and/or stored in organisations using a variety of advanced analytic techniques, such as longitudinal analyses, trend analyses, clustering, and text mining. APAC offers collaboration opportunities on a broad range of topics related to people analytics, in order to investigate issues which are relevant to practitioners and add to the body of knowledge on HRM and Organisational Behaviour. Organisations can approach us for collaborative projects aimed at improving people related decision making in general or answering specific people related questions.
