“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.”

“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.”
Keren Halperin – VP HR, Feedvisor (December 2016)
