Xobin HR Awards 2026

Candace Y. Washington, Ph.D.

Candace builds People Analytics as a strategic function, not a reporting desk. Grounded in I/O psychology, she turns workforce data into evidence leaders trust, moving The New York Public Library from reactive reporting to proactive, human-centered people decisions. Led the RFP and full-cycle implementation of the library's People Analytics platform, defining the metrics, data standards and quality checks that turned workforce data into a strategic asset. She also connects employee listening with organizational data to shape workforce planning, talent strategy and employee experience.
