November 1, 2011, Atlanta, GA – CallMe! will be presenting at the Institute of Human Resources conference on Nov. 15th on human capital metrics.

The presentation is entitled “The 80/20 Rule: How to Identify the Right Human Capital Metrics for Your Organization.” Here is the introduction to the presentation:

What are the right few human capital metrics to help us navigate our businesses through changing environments?

HR professionals – and the organizations they serve – often struggle with how to establish a core set of HR metrics that accurately capture HR’s impact on the organization and generate real business insight. Simply picking measures from a list is like searching for a needle in a haystack. There is a better way.

This presentation introduces a systematic approach for identifying the right metrics for any organization. By using a blend of standardized and customized measures, a company can track human capital performance along widely understood and benchmarked metrics while also creating tight alignment with unique business objectives.

The majority of measures on a human capital dashboard (around 80%) can be standardized, drawing from known metrics with well-established definitions. These metrics are often easier understood by end-users and benefit from readily available benchmarks.

However, a portion of human capital metrics (about 20%) must be customized to reflect unique business conditions and measure, monitor and evaluate organizational initiatives. HR teams can quickly and efficiently determine the best customized metrics for their businesses by employing a “cascade approach”. Working from the top-down, this structured approach starts with the strategic goals of the business and drills down to the detailed metrics that measure whether HR is achieving its strategy.

Participants will take away concrete lessons that they can use to identify the best human capital metrics for their organizations. They will understand how to quickly and efficiently customize human capital metrics based on business needs, use Strategic Metrics Cascades to tailor human capital measures that align with their strategic priorities, and learn the 10 Key Performance Indicators that no organization should be without.
