Welcome to The Human Truth Podcast where, each episode, we take a closer look at a popular workforce statistic ripped from the headlines and ask: Where’d it come from? Is it true? And why should we care? 

Did you know that people analytics, the practice – not the term as we know it today – began in 1911? Since then, people analytics, the practice, has evolved to become foundational to business, people, and financial outcomes. 

According to Insight222, in the last 12 months, 88% of people analytics teams have been asked to do specific work for the board of directors. 

People analytics has come a long way, and in this episode we breakdown its history, how we use it today, and its opportunity in the future of work. 

On the podcast this episode:

  • Host, Ian Cook is Visier’s VP of People Analytics
  • Guest, David Green, author, people analytics thought leader, and director of Insight222 & myHRfuture.com.

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
