GUIDE: How to run an HR and People Analytics Meetup Group

Posted 10 months ago

Starting and successfully growing an HR and People Analytics meetup community isn't easy, but maybe we can make it a bit easier. This guide will hopefully be a living document, growing as more meetup organisers around the world contribute to it. For now, it is based on the London HR and People Analytics group - here is our overview video, and here are some recordings from our sessions.

The six steps below contains the steps we take when we run a meetup, and also contain the support that we - 3n Strategy, our university partners, and the HR Analytics ThinkTank community - can provide you with (for free).

Before you start though, we recommend you take the following steps:
1. Register your meetup here for regular updates and to be listed on the Global HR and People Analytics Meetup Map.
2. Join the HR and People Analytics Meetup Organiser group on Linkedin.
