You Make the Call!Assumptions
2010 revenue 10,000,000$ 2010 budget* 9,400,000
*Selling, General and Administrative Expenses2010 HR budget (3.5% of total budget) 329,000 2010 salaries and benefits (57% of total budget) 5,358,000 2010 return on salaries and benefits 6%
Do the math...
Value of 5% reduction in HR costs: 5% x $329,000 16,450$ Value of 2% productivity gain: 2% x $5,358,000 107,160
Difference = 90,710 Productivity gain as % of HR budget 33%

action to support the success of the organization.
• Support effective management decision-making Performance data help get people involved.
• Validate / support operational actions Identify practices that drive success and which don’t matter.

What to measure?
Measure
• things people care about
• things that tell a story… the story
about how your work has
influenced organizational results

What makes a good measure?
• Goal related
• Receiver / client group needs the info
• Sensory description
• Success drivers / predictive
• Barriers
• What do you count now?
• What could you count now?
![Page 33: Kerr - The Sudoku of HR Nine Numbers To Prove Your Value](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081602/54be2b404a79592f108b4591/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Thinking about data• Does it make sense? Does it look right?• What can I compare this to?• Do the data reported elsewhere differ from mine? • What is new or different?• What might be driving the change?• What is the result of each area measured?
If we increase the productivity of our workforce, what will that mean for the organization?
If time to hire is reduced, what will that mean for managers?
• Do the data show differences in subsets? By department By manager By season

Communicating Results
• Summarize your message in one sentence.
• Start at top (mission) or bottom (financial)
• Discuss each measure Result Cause / Driver Action plan

Sample Report: Time to Hire
• Time to hire averages 86 days – this is too expensive . A position vacant for this long costs us approximately $7600 in addition to the cost of hiring which averages about 30% of annual salary.
• Analysis – two important factors are driving this result: (1) little time for HR and hiring managers to review large numbers of résumés and (2) finding time to conduct good interviews
• HR proposes testing the incorporation of objective assessments to better screen candidates and provide scientific data to the decision making process. We have identified three options that we will pilot. Final decision to be made in 6 weeks. Four hiring managers from different departments are helping with the trial.
