Overview
Many HR departments spend their time on transactions and administration with little objective data on how well their processes work or how they support business strategy. Senior executives increasingly expect HR to prove its value with numbers, and HR metrics are how you do it.
This interactive 60-minute HR metrics training gives an overview of the measures HR teams use most often and a method for putting them in place in your own function. You'll work through formulas for recruiting and selection, compensation and benefits, training and development, and retention.
With the right metrics, HR can act as a strategic business partner, speak the language of business, check whether internal customers' needs are being met, improve its processes continuously and reduce the risk of being outsourced.
Why attend: Leaders of many of the best-run HR departments in the U.S. rely on metrics to guide performance. Senior leaders want objective data, not opinions, and results HR doesn't report often don't count. Metrics let you compare against other organizations' best practices, spot early warning signs and performance gaps, and set clear goals, just as manufacturing, sales and accounting already do. The session suits HR professionals new to the field, experienced practitioners looking for fresh ideas, and anyone who wants a refresher.
