HR Measurement and Human Capital Management

Overview

Course duration: 1 day.

Demonstrate how your HR initiatives add value and impact on the business bottom line.

Proving the effectiveness of the HR function is at the forefront of any HR professional’s agenda. While your HR team is expected to provide insight into human capital reporting and measuring the value of your workforce, you also need to provide hard evidence of your own contribution through an effective HR measurement framework. Yet, a recent survey found that more than eight out of ten HR professionals lack a strategic HR measurement programme and do not measure return on investment. Perhaps no surprise then that HR often struggles to prove its business impact.

HR measurement and human capital management: How do you measure the most relevant data in accordance with your business objectives? Interpreting the data from your measurement framework: Are you able to create value from the data? Making the most of your human capital: How do you devise appropriate solutions once this people data has been analysed?
