HR Metrics (including Metrics)
National Summary
In the past, Human Resources (HR) was viewed as an administrative
function where decision making was usually based on prior experience,
feelings, or intuition. However, with the growth of technology, global
markets, and rapidly changing business needs, the HR professional
must also hone the ability to make fact-based decisions. Such decisions
may be based on data developed through the use of metrics that measure
the quality, quantity, cost, and effectiveness of HR programs. Metrics
measure turnover, the cost of hiring new employees, and the effectiveness
of compensation programs in increasing employee performance. Metrics
also provide the data the HR professional needs to communicate with
management and have a real impact on driving the change that will
move the company forward.
