Morning Workshop: Effective Benchmarking Tools

Is HR a strategic partner? Is HR spending time on the "right" tasks? How are we performing? This interactive session will review how HR can conduct a 360 degree analysis of itself to quantify it's performance, time and resource allocation, and perceptions of HR by the broader organization. During this workshop, you will learn about the 360 degree analysis framework and review sample results from each of the tools.

Lunch Keynote: Effective Use of Metrics and Benchmarking Strategies for Human Capital Measurement

While human capital measurement has been used in organizations for more than 20 years, some organizations still do not measure their human capital. Given the size of the investment in human capital (on average it makes up 36% of operating expenses), it is critical to measure, quantify, and understand how your human capital impacts the bottom line. This presentation will outline a measurement model that combines survey data from the workforce with outputs allowing organizations to link what is happening with an understanding of why it is happening. Additionally, we will review a number of global Saratoga metrics and discuss how to get started with a measurement effort.
