“I truly enjoyed participating in Littal’s course. The mindset and perspectives that Littal brought to her training sessions helped me shape my professional approach and my role as People Analytics lead. Her class included the most recent theories and articles in the field. The mixture of lectures, exercises, and group discussions made it even more relevant. During the training, we discussed the challenges and burning issues that concern colleagues in the field. The answers and feedback given by Littal and the other participants contributed to my ability to connect general concepts and ideas to the daily life of a professional in the domain. For me, the course has been a significant learning experience as it helped me acquired the key foundations, as well as current trends in the field of People Analytics.”
Gal Mozes – Organizational Psychologist and People Analytics Lead, Amdocs (November 2019)
“I first met Littal in January 2017, soon after I started working as People Analytics & Insights lead at HP, which was a newly created role, where I had to develop both knowledge, skills and a strong professional network. Since our first meeting, I consider myself very fortunate to have Littal as my mentor and professional colleague, as she is truly a thought leader, innovative, futuristic and thought-provoking in her approach. Littal’s guidance and support, both on work-related projects (such as advising on HR technologies relevant to specific business needs) as well as professional career advice, helped me grow as a leader in this field, and I greatly value her for that. Littal is also an excellent speaker, both in Israel and globally. She strongly believes in sharing her knowledge and expertise with others; Thus far I had the pleasure to collaborate with her twice in public speaking events (Haifa University- master’s degree Human Services, December 2017, ISHRM- People Analytics conference, July 2018). Littal has a unique combination of knowledge and experience in this multi-disciplinary field. She brings HR, data analytics, statistics, research, and business understanding, as well as the ability to articulate and write her observations and futuristic perspectives in her blog. She is a valued leader in the global People Analytics field and I personally look forward to continuing to work with her on People Analytics projects!”

“I worked with Littal during 2018, and I was fortunate to have her close guidance and advise. Littal helped me and my team understand how to use People Analytics tools to make informed business decisions based on HR data. We used several methods, including Employee Contribution Analysis, Survival Charts, and Breakeven Calculation. Littal shared with us researches and additional literature to expand our knowledge and conducted with us external research on benefits in the Israeli labor market. Thanks to Littal we made great progress in 2018, and I’m looking forward to working with her in 2019.”

“I worked with Littal on analyzing the results of our Annual Review forms. I wish I had involved her sooner in the process. Littal was great to work with – pleasant, professional and on the mark. More than providing data – she gave me helpful pointers about what we could be doing to make the process more data-driven, assisted in measuring the post process thoughts of employees and managers and supported an additional analytics project, gleaning more insight for us.”
Neomi Farkas – Global Head of HR, Taboola (May 2016)
“Littal was in charge of the Employee Engagement Survey analysis, from the implementation of statistical models and visualization to the strategic thinking about the results. Littal understood deeply and quickly, not only HR issues, but rather business challenges, and took an effort to bind the analytics to the company’s metrics and goals. She played a vital role in the discussion about operative steps following the survey’s conclusion and contributed to the management commitment to carry out them. Her work was impressively professional, dedicated and pleasant, along with the entire process. I look forward to continuing to work with her on People Analytics projects.”
