💡Data from national statistics offices (NSOs) provide the foundation for evidence-based decision and policy-making for our society. Similarly, HR data analytics can offer valuable, data-driven insights to support strategic planning and resource allocation within NSOs and help them optimize their workforce and operations. ✅Led by Sarah Johnston-Way of Statistics Canada | Statistique Canada the paper “Enhancing NSOs through HR Analytics” presents the value proposition of HR data analytics, concrete examples of how it is implemented in various organizations, and some key considerations for adopting HR analytics in statistical organizations. ⚖️ As NSOs face increasing budget pressures, balancing between priorities, and adopting rapidly evolving technologies, this paper will provide a valuable resource for those seeking to adopt evidence-based approaches to human resource management. ➡️ The full report is available here: https://lnkd.in/erbkhXDm #ModernStats #HLGMOS #CapabilityCommunicationGroup

🚀 Launch of a new HLG-MOS Project - A Roadmap to Multi-Source Statistics (RAMSES)! 💡 Why this project? Data integration and linkage have become essential for statistical organizations, enabling them to provide richer insights and timely information to address complex challenges in an ever-evolving world. Over the past decade, the topic has evolved. Organizations are now striving to move beyond one-off data integration solutions toward a more systematic approach. 💡 What is the objectives of the project? The project will focus on, rather than how to integrate data, but how to build a strong foundation to make data integration more effective and efficient, thus allowing the ultimate end result - the production of multi-source statistics - a standard mode of statistical production. The project aims to develop a Handbook on Multi-Source Statistics, addressing key areas such as: - Holistic transition and rethinking of processes design - Interoperability and standardization in a practical sense; - Ethics and social acceptability in context of multi-source statistics; - A framework to understand various quality aspects and communication of the quality with users. Additionally, we plan to test the handbook through concreate use cases. 👉 You can find more information on the project proposal here: https://lnkd.in/eiNckpyX 🤲 Want to join us on this exciting journey?

📢 Announcing the Launch of the ASCENT Project We are pleased to introduce a new HLG-MOS project of 2025 - Advanced Survey Cost-Effectiveness with Nonresponse Treatment (ASCENT) Project, an initiative focused on addressing nonresponse bias and enhancing survey processes through practical, implementation-driven methodologies. Declining response rates and increasing budgetary pressures underscore the urgent need for sustainable and efficient survey methodologies to safeguard the integrity of official statistics. The project aims to deliver guidelines to mitigate nonresponse bias and optimize survey processes by leveraging advanced sampling and collection methods. The project is not just about theory - it is about turning the research and innovations NSOs are already testing into a shared, actionable framework. We will focus on: 🔹 Responsive Design and Multi-Mode Approaches – Adjusting survey processes dynamically to improve efficiency and quality. 🔹 Subsampling of Nonrespondents – Implementing targeted follow-ups to enhance data accuracy while managing costs. 🔹 Advanced Post-Collection Weighting – Applying refined techniques to correct for nonresponse bias and support high-quality statistical outputs. The project will culminate in a standardized report, offering practical tools and methodologies designed primarily for and the academic community. 👉 You can find more information on the project proposal here: https://lnkd.in/eHuK6mXf 💡 Interested in joining this initiative? If you’d like to contribute or learn more, we invite you to fill out the form here: https://lnkd.in/e4R-myrk Your expertise and participation can help us shape a more sustainable and effective future for data collection. #HLGMOS #ModenStats #Ascent

🚀 New Release: Use of Generative AI for Communication in Statistical Organizations. The use of AI in statistical organizations is on the rise, and generative AI, with its ability to produce text, images, and videos from simple cues offers a unique opportunity to revolutionize communication. ✨ As communication becomes increasingly critical for producers of official statistics, generative AI can: - Streamline routine tasks - Create highly tailored materials for specific demographic groups - Strengthen connections with target audiences - Boost public engagement 📱 As seen in the case of social media, technological advancements can reshape how statistical organizations communicate with the public. However, given that communication is at the forefront with users and the public interacting directly, official statistics producers must remain vigilant about emerging risks and challenges when adopting new technology. 🎯 Led by Janice Keenan (co-chair, @Statistics Canada) and Bilyana Bogdanova (co-chair, Bank for International Settlements – BIS), this paper explores: ✅ Opportunities offered by generative AI through real use cases ✅ Risks are more pronounced when used for communication ✅ Challenges for statistical organizations adopting new technologies Read more here: https://lnkd.in/eWxhSRsr #ModernStats #HLG2024 #HLGMOS #AIforCommunication

🎉 New release: Statistical Implementation Standards in the context of GSBPM The HLG-MOS Supporting Standards Group has released a report that identifies elements of #SDMX and #DDI that are relevant in each phase and sub-process of #GSBPM, from the specification of statistical needs to the dissemination of statistics. 🆕 Both SDMX and DDI standards have widespread adoption, each having its own advantages and communities of users. The motivation for using GSBPM to contextualise SDMX and DDI artifacts in this way is to help experts in one of these standards to easily see which artifacts from the other standard might be relevant for a given stage of the statistical production process. This is an important prerequisite for those who use both of these standards and who wish to make them interoperate with each other, for example, to construct a data pipeline. Despite their differences, SDMX and DDI have many similarities between their artifacts, and have evolved in recent years to start to overlap in certain respects in the roles that they can perform. 👏 Led by Flavio Rizzolo (Statistics Canada | Statistique Canada) and Edgardo Greising (International Labour Organization), the report also provides an introduction to SDMX and DDI standards in the context of GSBPM, and guidance on making them interoperate with each other and with VTL. As well as being a useful part of a developer’s toolkit, it is hoped that this work may be a foundation for further work to include other open implementation standards. 💡 The report is available here: https://lnkd.in/eJHjPh-D #HLG2024 #ModernStats #Standards
