Where should we send your report?

We email you a link to confirm. Your report opens after you click it.

This is a self-check, not an exam or a certificate.

Why check this now?

Find your gaps before an audit or a review does.

HR is asked for numbers more often than ever, and a wrong formula or an unclear chart can steer a decision the wrong way. Analysts who plan the analysis, check the data and present it clearly make HR a credible voice in the room.

What does the assessment ask?

Rate each statement from Not yet to Always. These are the statements, by area.

HR metrics and KPIs

  1. I calculate turnover, absenteeism and headcount using written, consistent formulas.
  2. Our HR KPIs link to business goals agreed with management.
  3. I track recruitment metrics such as time to fill and cost per hire.
  4. I compare our metrics month on month and explain the changes.

Data quality and Excel analysis

  1. I clean HR data before analysis by checking for duplicates, blanks and inconsistent entries.
  2. I use pivot tables to summarise HR data by department, grade or period.
  3. I use lookup functions such as XLOOKUP or VLOOKUP to combine data from different files.
  4. I keep raw data separate from analysis sheets so every figure can be traced.

Personal data in HR analysis

  1. I remove or mask names and IC numbers in files that do not need them.
  2. I limit access to salary and personal data in line with the PDPA.
  3. I avoid reporting results for groups so small that individuals can be identified.

Dashboards and reporting

  1. I present HR data in a dashboard with a few key charts rather than long tables.
  2. Each chart answers a specific question that management has asked.
  3. I update the dashboard on a fixed schedule from the same data sources.
  4. I add a short written summary of what the numbers mean and what to do next.

Frequently asked questions.

Short answers to what people ask first.

How is my score worked out?

You rate each statement from Not yet (0) to Always (3). Your score is the percentage of the maximum points, and your lowest scoring section shows which course to look at first.

Does a high score mean I am certified?

No. This is a self-check of your current practice, not part of the Certifyd HR Data Analyst assessment. The certification is earned by completing its core courses and assessment.

Do I need advanced Excel skills to take this?

No. The statements ask about your current habits. Basic familiarity with spreadsheets is enough to answer honestly.

Who is this Readiness Check for?

HR executives, HRIS staff and HR managers who prepare HR reports, metrics or dashboards in Malaysia.

Is the HR Data Analysis Readiness Check free?

Yes. You can answer every statement and see your readiness band without signing up. Your email is asked for only if you want the detailed report and the PDF checklist.

Do you store my answers?

Not until you ask for your report. Until then your answers stay in this browser. After you confirm your email, they are kept with your report and you can delete them from any email we send.

What happens after the assessment?

Your report recommends one next step: the core course for your weakest area, or the full certification when you are ready.
