Good morning,

When you’re making a reasonably complicated and important decision, are you more likely to get the outcome you want if you systematically take account of relevant information or evidence?

Are you even more likely to get the outcome you want if you ensure that the evidence you use is trustworthy or reliable?

And, are would you even further increase your chances of getting the outcome you want if you use multiple sources and types of evidence rather than just one?

If you answered “yes” to these three questions then you already understand the principles of evidence-based practice. But what exactly is evidence-based practice and how does it apply to HR?

Don’t forget to tune in to the latest HRD Live podcast series.

Thank you!
