1. A seat at the table
Long term HR objective The objective of every HR professional How do you accomplish this?
![Page 4: Bob Keller Hr Metrics Presentation Indiana Shrm 8-29-06 - Final 8-21-06](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051613/54fe50684a7959f4248b4e9c/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)

Answer
Through speaking the language of business Financial Language
Quantitative Qualitative, to support your points
Business Process Language Unique to your business and industry
![Page 5: Bob Keller Hr Metrics Presentation Indiana Shrm 8-29-06 - Final 8-21-06](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051613/54fe50684a7959f4248b4e9c/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
5
HR is usually quality focused
We often speak in quality terms Can’t measure in dollar terms Or difficult to quantify
![Page 6: Bob Keller Hr Metrics Presentation Indiana Shrm 8-29-06 - Final 8-21-06](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051613/54fe50684a7959f4248b4e9c/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
6
My premise:
Until you speak in financial and business process terms you will never have an equal seat at the table
HR will only be considered tactical and administrative
You won’t have senior management’s true respect
Be strategic!
![Page 7: Bob Keller Hr Metrics Presentation Indiana Shrm 8-29-06 - Final 8-21-06](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051613/54fe50684a7959f4248b4e9c/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

3. Employment
Cost per hire Internal staffing department Requisition management, internet, agencies, open houses, campus Applicant tracking system, reports IT overhead, telecom, other overhead burdens Reference checking Executive search
Responsiveness/Efficiency Response time Time-to-fill Hire ratios Hit Ratio – offers accepted vs. offers made
Qualitative After one year working for the company After five years Should be part of annual Talent Assessment Review Process (Session “C”)
![Page 19: Bob Keller Hr Metrics Presentation Indiana Shrm 8-29-06 - Final 8-21-06](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051613/54fe50684a7959f4248b4e9c/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Example – Employment Costs
National Average
Company
Delta Cost Savings
Per hire
100 hires
$4,262 $1,964 54% Less
$ 230,000 per annum
![Page 21: Bob Keller Hr Metrics Presentation Indiana Shrm 8-29-06 - Final 8-21-06](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051613/54fe50684a7959f4248b4e9c/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
21
4. Turnover/Absenteeism
Annual turnover rates Voluntary, involuntary Coding (reasons)
Complete financial cost of turnover Cost to train, recruit, declining productivity of
incumbent, unfilled position overtime or contract labor, unemployment compensation, new hire training and learning curve of new hire
Absenteeism percentage rate Similar additional cost to the business
Do the math with your management to get buy-in
![Page 22: Bob Keller Hr Metrics Presentation Indiana Shrm 8-29-06 - Final 8-21-06](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051613/54fe50684a7959f4248b4e9c/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
22
Why Important
Obvious costs of replacement Turnover - permanent employees Absenteeism – temporary, overtime or lost
production
Huge hidden costs for both
![Page 23: Bob Keller Hr Metrics Presentation Indiana Shrm 8-29-06 - Final 8-21-06](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051613/54fe50684a7959f4248b4e9c/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Company
Delta
Cost Savings

24
5. Training & Organization Development
Training (vs. educating) expenditures Cost – per unit of training delivered Change – in behavior and performance Impact – financial results or outcomes (ROI)
OD & Succession Planning Internal candidates filling openings Employee Attitude ratings Viable individual development plans
![Page 25: Bob Keller Hr Metrics Presentation Indiana Shrm 8-29-06 - Final 8-21-06](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051613/54fe50684a7959f4248b4e9c/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
25
Why Important
Training, OD perceived as difficult to quantify Training one of the first budget items to be
eliminated during downturns Must be very specific to defend Sell the expected financial impact, then
measure
![Page 26: Bob Keller Hr Metrics Presentation Indiana Shrm 8-29-06 - Final 8-21-06](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051613/54fe50684a7959f4248b4e9c/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
26
Examples
Sales training – increased revenues per sales rep Hourly workers – increased efficiency Managers – improved leadership, higher employee
satisfaction, less turnover, increased efficiency Generic savings:
Decrease in turnover, recruitment, new hire training and learning curve factors
![Page 27: Bob Keller Hr Metrics Presentation Indiana Shrm 8-29-06 - Final 8-21-06](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051613/54fe50684a7959f4248b4e9c/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

28
Why Important
Multi-million dollar annual expense Second largest HR expenditure category Lost cost reduction opportunity if sites don’t
focus on it
![Page 29: Bob Keller Hr Metrics Presentation Indiana Shrm 8-29-06 - Final 8-21-06](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051613/54fe50684a7959f4248b4e9c/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

31
Why Important
Employee satisfaction correlates to customer satisfaction
Customer satisfaction correlates to sales
Additional financial correlations to turnover and absenteeism
![Page 32: Bob Keller Hr Metrics Presentation Indiana Shrm 8-29-06 - Final 8-21-06](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051613/54fe50684a7959f4248b4e9c/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

34
Why Important
Knowing your costs and how you compare gives you opportunity for “continuous improvement”
Communicates the value of HR compared to competition and the external world in an objective and “financial” manner
![Page 35: Bob Keller Hr Metrics Presentation Indiana Shrm 8-29-06 - Final 8-21-06](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051613/54fe50684a7959f4248b4e9c/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
