I started The HR Data Junction to share the lessons, frameworks, and ideas that have shaped my work helping organizations use data more effectively.
Over the years, I’ve seen how HR teams can feel overwhelmed by systems and metrics — yet starved for meaningful insights. My goal here is to change that conversation: to show how data, when used thoughtfully and implemented effectively, can clarify strategy, sharpen decisions, and create more human workplaces.
I’m Richard Feith, a people analytics strategist and founder of HR Data Insights. I work at the intersection of data, technology, and HR strategy — Creating practical, data-driven solutions that seamlessly link technical expertise with strategic business value. My background spans analytics enablement, system implementation, and data governance. I’m equally comfortable discussing SQL and data models as I am culture and leadership.
This blog is my way of giving back to the community that’s helped shape my thinking. You’ll find articles on emerging HR analytics practices, experiments with AI, and reflections on what it means to build a data-literate HR function in a changing world.
Because the future of HR isn’t just about data, it’s about turning data into better decisions for people.
Follow along for new perspectives on how data, analytics, and AI are redefining the way HR creates value.
