  1. Return on Investment and People Development Tom Smith

  2. “The aim of this establishment is to create an environment where champions are inevitable” About Lane4

  3. “Like other leaders, many HR executives hold flawed and incomplete beliefs. They fall prey to second-rate evidence, logic and advice which produce suspect practices, and in the end, damages performance and people” Pfeffer and Sutton (2006) Hard Facts, Dangerous Half-Truths and Total Nonsense

  4. The Value of Top Talent 1SD Low Performers Superior Performers Good Low Complexity Jobs 19% Moderately Complex Jobs 32% Highly Complex Jobs 48% Sales 48-120% Hunter, J.E., Schmidt, F.L. and Judiesch, M.K. (1990) Individual differences in output variability as a function of job complexity. Journal of Applied Psychology, 75; 28-42

  5. The Risk of Workforce Disengagement The Reward of Engagement High performers with low retention risk – the “true believers” – exhibit very strong emotional and rational commitment to their day-to-day work, teams, managers and organisations The Danger of Non-Engagement Poor performers who frequently put in minimal effort – the “disaffected” – exhibit strong emotional and rational non-commitment to day-to-day work, the manager, team and organisation. A Risk and an Opportunity The “agnostics” exhibit only moderate commitment to their work, teams and organisations. The “agnostics” are capable of moving into either the “disaffected” or the “true believers” categories; many in fact already lean towards one of the other “The True Believers” “The Agnostics” “The Disaffected” 29% 27% 20% 11% 13% Leaning towards disengagement Leaning towards engagement Neutral Source: Corporate Leadership Council Research (2004)

  6. What strikes you about the two studies?

  7. Barriers to using ‘hard data’ to measuring HR / L&D activities Less to do with any disinterest in measuring bottom line impact, more to do with the difficulty of doing so…

  8. ROI Vicious Circle

  9. How do you currently measure the impact of what you do in HR?

  10. Kirkpatrick’s Model of Training Evaluation Kirkpatrick (1959)

  11. ‘’Hold HR accountable: do not accept measures of activity - things like positions filled, training hours delivered and appraisals completed on time. Require measures of accomplishment that reflect business success: sales or revenue, profits, productivity, customer retention and so on’’ Kaufman (2006) ‘’How to Fix HR’’ Harvard Business Review

  12. Change the questions we ask…. New Questions • What do the employee behaviours suggest we do? • What works here? • How does what our business needs fit into the overall system? • What do patterns over time tell us? • What data do we need? Today’s Questions • What does the employee survey suggest we do? • What works at GE? • What does the business need? • How much does it cost? • What other data do we have? Based on Nalbantian et al, 2004

  15.  Discuss examples of ROI work within your organisations…..  What will you do differently next time?

  16. Conclusions

  17. Conclusions • Measurement of ROI needs to change from retrospective and separate to proactive and integrated • HR initiatives should be integrated into the business as a whole with shared accountability for the results • Measurement of ROI should be used as a feature of feedback loop to ensure that HR initiatives continually and positively impact the organisation
