Assessing and Measuring Human Resources

Without the ability to capture the critical data for human resource efforts, HR management contributions will remain in the domain of a "soft" return on investment. Leading edge companies have shifted focus from capitol and time resource measurements to a model that includes human resources, giving them the means to control and predict resources more fully and accurately. Our two-day program details the procedures that will put you on the leading edge for capturing, measuring and reporting human resources data.

Understanding management influence
Identifying what to measure for your company
Processes for data collection

Conducting measurement cost analysis
Interpreting and presenting human resource measurement data

If you want to get to the strategic table at your company - this course will help you get there!

You will increase your expertise in:

Analysis of fundamental concepts in financial and accounting processes
Understanding terminology and financial statements of the corporation
Determining core competency human resource activities
Recognizing the impacts of HR management activities such as recruiting, wages, and benefits on the corporations' profitability
Budgeting for future human resources needs

Human Resource Auditing: Connecting Compliance and Performance

Without balancing the two HR can become "the Department of NO" and performance goals will not be met.

Recognize impacts of equal opportunity requirements
Evaluate employment practices and discipline
Understand the key measurements for compliance
