Masterclass Evidence-Based HR

Reserve a spot Reserve a spot

On International HR Day, HRPro organises a masterclass on Evidence-Based HR, in collaboration with KU Leuven, Vlerick Business School, CEBMa, Beam, Otolith, and #ZigZagHR.

In a world of strong opinions, noise, and rapidly shifting HR trends, making well-informed HR decisions is a challenge. Especially when multiple, often diverging perspectives need to be considered.

This masterclass explores how to make better HR decisions by adopting a more evidence-based approach, with a clear focus on practical application and collaboration.

How can you apply evidence-based thinking in your day-to-day HR work?

How do you combine scientific research, organisational data, professional expertise, and stakeholder input in a meaningful way?

And how does this translate into better HR decisions?
 

What will you take away?

  • How to combine different sources of evidence in practice
  • Practical ways to apply evidence-based thinking in HR decisions
  • Insights into how collaboration strengthens decision-making
