More than ever before, human resources professionals are scrambling to collect and provide quantitative metrics to substantiate all sorts of initiatives. Many HR professionals spend time preparing analytics for the sake of being prepared with ‘data’ – metrics for the sake of metrics.
Dr. Steve McElfresh, our guest on NED this month, presents a compelling case that the real value of metrics is only achieved when combined with analytic, business oriented thinking. The development of HR Metrics can enable and support that approach to HR. But Metrics also can be, and too often is, delivered bereft of such thinking, in which case it is an empty suit, a façade that detracts from rather than enhancing HR’s credibility. What’s more, solid analytic, business-oriented thinking can be applied to great effect without formal metrics.

And, recruiting exclusively with social media can potentially lead to disparate impact. What does this mean? It means that it’s time to better understand the impacts of social media and the implications that it has on recruiting – and your recruiting program.
