Metrics Proposal

The human resource professional continues to change from a transactional role, where compliance and administrative functions are the primary function, to providing more strategic responsibilities to achieve organizational goals. To make strategic choices it is important to have relevant facts about various aspects of the organization. This is where the effective use of metrics and dashboards come in. Metrics are a form of measuring specific aspects of the HR function, recruiting for example. Dashboards are a summary of various metrics that can inform management on the status of various measures. Other reporting methods include scorecards, HR reports, and strategy maps. While these metrics and dashboards are generally used internally, some organizations will share the information with other stakeholders internal or external to the organizations as well.
