Human Resource Departments have traditionally been concerned with the processing of transactions and administrative functions – often with little or no objective data to provide them feedback on:
the effectiveness of their HR processes
or the contribution that these processes are making to the organization’s business strategy
However, many senior corporate executives are no longer satisfied with this scenario. They want HR to prove its value and effectiveness through objective data.
Why You Should Attend
HR professionals leading many of the best-managed HR departments across the U.S. rely heavily on HR Metrics to guide and improve their departments' performance. They recognize that metrics offer significant benefits to both their departments and organizations.
These HR professionals recognize that:
Metrics is the ‘language of business’. Senior leaders are seeking objectivity. They don't speak in generalities or make key decisions based on opinions. Metrics communicate by painting an unbiased, objective, and believable picture
They are in the service business, and their H.R. function can be seen as an overhead expense until others see value in the function. They appreciate the fact that the results that they don't objectively report often don’t count
They need metrics to compare themselves to other organizations' standards and ‘best practices’. Those metrics provide early warning signals and identify performance gaps. And it is difficult to control & improve upon any HR process that is not measured.
Metrics provide a means of increasing visibility, clarifying performance expectations, and setting goals. That just measuring an HR process conveys its importance and tends to improve the performance of the process.
Since the leaders of the other functions within their organizations - manufacturing, sales, accounting, customer service, etc. - measure and report their contributions and performance, they, as HR professionals, should as well.
