In this episode of Management Matters, Jane Magness sits down with Trudy Towns to explore how HR leaders can use data to analyze, refine, and elevate the employee lifecycle.

From recruitment and onboarding to engagement, development, and retention, Trudy shares how meaningful metrics can uncover friction points, reveal patterns, and guide smarter decisions. Rather than relying on instinct alone, HR can leverage workforce data to strengthen every stage of the employee journey.

Together, they discuss practical ways to identify the right data, connect it to business outcomes, and move from reactive reporting to proactive workforce strategy.

If you’re ready to shift HR from administrative support to strategic driver, this conversation offers a roadmap for using data to cultivate impact across the entire employee lifecycle.
