Good News … Bad News
Senior-level international executives are not rigorously evaluating their companies' human resource (HR) functions, according to a new global research study commissioned by EDS. Conducted by Harris Interactive, the study shows that executives make decisions based on limited metrics and tend to form subjective impressions about their HR departments. Findings reveal that reveals that 90 percent of U.S., Canadian, and European companies surveyed evaluate their human resource functions primarily on three criteria: employee retention/turnover, corporate morale/employee satisfaction, and HR expense as a percent of operational expense. About 50 percent of senior-level executives believe there are critical dimensions of human resource department performance that are not currently being adequately measured.
The good news is that there is overall satisfaction with the functioning of HR departments today, the bad news is that these opinions are based on subjective impressions rather than informed by sound performance metrics.
