HR Data and Metrics
 
  • What is HR Metrics?

  • Human Resource Metrics are derived from HR data and help stakeholders in quantitative assessment commonly used for tracking performance, workforce planning and development. Human Resource Metrics helps make better decisions by providing evidence-based insights. Measuring this kind of information-what’s working well, what needs improvement, and what trends to expect in the future-helps the organization figure out their people strategy.  The goal is not only to look at “what” is happening, but “why” it is happening.

    Common HR metrics include but are not limited to:  time-to-hire, employee turnover, absenteeism or absence rate, demographics, diversity, and more.

  • How can I get HR Data?

  • HR data is protected and secure data, and only available on request. Only identified roles are eligible to make this request. So please start with your supervisor or assigned  Administrative Officer (AO) to know if you are eligible for this data. Once you have received data, please ensure data security.
