Methods for identifying patterns, trends, and causes in people practice data
5CO02 – Evidence-based practice
This CIPD Level 5 learning video explores methods for identifying patterns, trends, and causes in people practice data, directly addressing assessment criteria AC 2.1 from unit 5CO02 – Evidence-based practice. The video demonstrates how to interpret both quantitative and qualitative data using appropriate analytical tools, enabling you to draw meaningful insights from raw organisational information such as error records, complaints, and performance outcomes. By examining real-world examples of anomalies, themes, and cause-and-effect relationships within HR data, you'll develop the analytical skills needed to support evidence-based HR decision-making. Watch this video to master practical data interpretation techniques that strengthen your ability to translate raw evidence into actionable HR insights.
