Conducting HR Research Projects

Dr Wendy Hirsh

This session is intended for HR practitioners who are required to conduct applied research or evaluation projects as part of their work in organisations.

It will also be of value to those who commission researchers or consultants to undertake projects on their behalf.

There will be some contrasting examples of research projects and delegates will be invited to discuss projects they have been involved in or topics they may wish to research.

The workshop will include:

• Understanding the need - stakeholders, purposes, issues, scale, outputs
• Turning muddle to focus - framing clear project questions
• Choosing the right approach to information collection - using what's already there, personnel data, questionnaires, interviews and focus groups
• Getting yourself organised - planning activities, timing, money, people
• The fun of the chase - effective information collection
• The neglected step - data analysis
• Turning research into something useful - reporting, messages, and tools.
