Leveraging HR Metrics provides an authoritative, insider's perspective on selecting the right benchmarks that inspire action and add value to the business. Featuring HR executives from some of the top companies in the nation, this book addresses the importance of timing, relevancy, consistency, and simplicity when gathering and applying people-related data. Whether measuring turnover, satisfaction, development, or effectiveness, these executives discuss their approaches for generating concrete numbers from abstract concepts while providing context to demonstrate significance.
