KPIs & Metrics to Measure and Manage HR Department Performance

Human Resources

What are Human Resources KPIs?

HR KPIs are designed to measure the efficiency and effectiveness of human resources processes including recruiting, employee on-boarding, training and development, benefits administration and payroll processing. Typical HR departments measure metrics related to both inter-departmental productivity (e.g., Requisitions per Recruiter, Calls Handled per Employee) and work quality (e.g., First Year Employee Turnover Rate, Training Course Adoption Rate).

Using Human Resources Metrics to Manage Department Performance

Human resources departments must effectively attract and retain talent while ensuring that the company adheres to internal and external regulations regarding employee conduct, workplace relations and safety. The HR department has multiple customers. They work with employees to ensure that fringe benefits, payroll and workplace conditions meet the established standards. The HR team must also satisfy hiring requirements from business unit leadership (e.g., “I need good people, now!”). HR KPIs should be monitored to measure each aspect of HR operations, and ensure effective customer service.
