The HR Scorecard: Linking People, Strategy and Performance

Human resources is routinely asked to prove its contribution and rarely given the measurements to do it, and The HR Scorecard sets out a method for closing that gap. The book adapts scorecard thinking to people management, showing how to connect hiring, development and reward practices to the outcomes a business already tracks. It works through the logic of leading and lagging indicators, the difference between activity and impact, and the design of measures that survive scrutiny from a finance team. The framework is laid out step by step, which makes it usable by an HR function building its first measurement system. Framework highlights: • A measurement approach linking people practices to business performance • Guidance on choosing indicators that reflect impact rather than activity • A way to present HR's contribution in terms other functions recognise • Structured steps for teams building a scorecard from scratch Written for HR professionals, line managers and business leaders, available from Boipoka.
