Points to consider with HR measures
Page 44
Points to consider with HR measures 1 of 5
Don’t just start measuring the usual suspects, start with your organizational strategy and work from thereDon’t copy your neighbor’s HR metrics for the reason listed aboveDon’t use benchmarks for the sake of benchmarking because average does not equal better result
Page 45
Points to consider with HR measures 2 of 5
Don’t just email metrics out and expect your managers to understand them-make sure the metrics tell a compelling storyDon’t celebrate metrics that aren’t impactful because no one cares how many days it takes you to fill requisitions on average or if you have 100% participation in the performance management process, but they do care about what impacts revenue, profit and costs-DIRECTLY
Page 46
Points to consider with HR measures 3 of 5
Don’t use unreliable data or data that has not been verified-this will make you lose credibility points fastDon’t go through a lesson in correlations and regressions as no one cares; instead just tell the story on how the data analysis has uncovered something that impacts the business
Page 47
Points to consider with HR measures 4 of 5
Don’t measure for measuring sake as tracking hundreds of metrics is not smart nor does it move the dial-determine what are those levers that move your organizational success factors and measure thoseDon’t use fancy technology when an Excel spreadsheet will do-start small and if you get traction and buy in organizational wide then move to a more robust solution
Page 48
Points to consider with HR measures 5 of 5
Don’t depend on current employees to have the analytical muscle to perform statistical testing-not everyone feels comfortable with numbers…if you have that talent within the organization great, but that skill set is not one that is usually found in HR departments
