Key Takeaways
HR decisions are stronger when grounded in data
Learners use analytics, metrics, and employee feedback to inform staffing, compensation, and policy choices.
Employee engagement drives customer and financial outcomes
The simulation reinforces the link between engagement, satisfaction, productivity, and cost efficiency.
Analytics improves confidence—not certainty
Participants learn to work with imperfect data and make better decisions than relying on intuition alone.
Technology and AI reshape workforce planning
Scenarios highlight how automation impacts staffing levels, spans of control, and organizational structure.
Facilitator-led reflection amplifies learning
Built-in dashboards, team comparisons, and adjustable settings support rich debriefs and discussion.
In this webinar, Professor Tim Rogmans—Managing Director of the Sim Institute and developer of the HR Management Simulation: People Analytics—introduces a data-driven simulation designed to build practical HR decision-making skills.
Participants step into the role of HR Director for a large call center and make strategic decisions across staffing, compensation, training, rewards, and workforce planning. The simulation emphasizes how HR analytics and performance data can be used to improve employee engagement, customer satisfaction, and financial outcomes—while navigating real-world challenges such as growth, turnover, and technological change.
The session includes a live walkthrough of both the learner and facilitator experiences, showing how players analyze historical HR data, explore correlations between engagement and performance, and receive immediate feedback on their decisions through dashboards and reports. A key scenario explores the impact of AI and automation on call volumes, staffing levels, and organizational design, prompting meaningful discussion about the future of work.
The webinar also highlights facilitator controls, team-based play, learning objectives, and instructional resources—making it a practical guide for educators, L&D leaders, and facilitators looking to integrate people analytics into leadership, HR, or management programs.
