  16. HR Scorecard • Same concept as the Balanced Scorecard, but focused on people-related outcomes. • Scorecard information could be aggregated and used as one component of the Balanced Scorecard.

  17. HR Scorecard Relevant to … HR Professionals: HR Scorecard written to this audience primarily. Managers: So they will know to request and expect this outcome and process data from their HR professionals. Employees: As a means to focus their behaviors and development in strategic ways.

  18. Continuum of Criteria for Evaluating HR Effectiveness Cost Value • Resources utilized • Skills or behavior or competencies • Affective reaction of ees to HR program • Results: effect on company performance • Results: return on firm investment

  19. HR Scorecard Tips(from HR Scorecard & Dr. Graham) • The firm’s goals and strategies should guide the HR Scorecard (HRS) Development • Most HRS measures should focus on value creation. Some HRS measures should focus on cost control. • Focus on measures of “deliverables.” • Include at least one HR “high performance work system” (i.e., best practices) measure. • Include at least one “HR system alignment” measure (see ch. 6, HR Scorecard). • Focus on the “vital few” indicators: No more than 25 measures in your HRS.

  20. HR Scorecard Tips(from Dr. Graham) • Be as specific as possible on the measures. For example, “% of workers submitting at least one suggestion this year” is better than “suggestion system utilization” • Include a general description of how the measure should be evaluated. For example, are worker suggestions assessed versus a goal (i.e., 85%), prior year achievement, industry standards, etc.? • The justification of your scorecard criteria can rely upon firm goals and strategy, anticipated future challenges, current problems, as well as practical reasons such as ease of communication to employees. Justifications can also be strengthened by highlighting advantages of your criteria over potential alternatives.
