Of the companies Jonathan Ferrar and I researched and included in our recently published book Excellence in People Analytics. One that really stood out was Microsoft. It is one of the best examples of scaling people analytics to provide value for employees and the business. I am especially delighted, therefore, that Microsoft's Chief People Officer, Kathleen Hogan is my guest on this week's episode of the podcast.

In our conversation, Kathleen and I discuss:

• How HR is a strategic partner to the business at Microsoft
• How Kathleen has worked closely with CEO Satya Nadella, to develop the culture at Microsoft over the last five years
• The role of people data in supporting decision-making and busting myths
• The impact of continuous learning
• How a daily pulse of two and a half thousand employees has helped shape Microsoft's approach to hybrid working

This episode is a must listen for anyone interested or involved in people strategy, culture and inclusion. So that's business Leaders, Chief HR Officers and anyone in a people analytics, learning, talent management or HR business partner role.
