Here are 3 options the VP of HR could consider based on the analytics reviewed:
1. Train existing FTEs in BI to replace contractors and reduce costs, since training wait times are reasonable.
2. Hire more permanent FTEs with BI skills instead of contractors to lower expenses in the long run.
3. Explore rescheduling training courses to quickly build internal BI capacity and minimize reliance on contractors.

5. Human Resources: An Asset
In today’s competitive world, organizations tend to rely on their
intangibles like ‘Customer Relationships’ and ‘Organizational Flexibility’
as their source of competitive advantage
The biggest intangible often tends to be “Human Resources”
Many of these intangibles are often viewed as a “Cost” from a
conventional accounting perspective
Many companies recognize the importance of people, but tend to
manage them as an overhead (minimize cost)
The challenge lies in measuring performance in terms of a strategic goal

20. HR Analytics – Business case
Options
The metrics seem to indicate that the contracting costs are higher. An option to reduce
contracting expenses is to hire more FTE’s or train more FTE’s in the new technology.
The VP of HR reviews the workforce composition metric and understands if there are sufficient
people in the organization with the required skill set who could be trained.
The VP of HR then looks at the training schedule to see if the seats for the BI course are available
in the near future. (Finance + Learning Management metric).

Conclusion
The VP of HR sees that they do not have sufficient amount of
people with BI experience who could be trained and the wait
time for BI course is fairly long. Hence, he decides to look at
hiring more FTE from the market.
