The work we do in HR matters… a lot. Almost every single line of operation within HR has a clear and direct connection with business strategy. In that sense, HR metrics are fundamental for businesses of all sizes. HR metrics, which really are people metrics with an impact on the business, offer quantitative insights into the workforce's efficiency, effectiveness, and overall contribution to business objectives. We prepared this list with 20 key HR metrics that have a significant impact on business strategy. Each metric is detailed with its definition, significance, measurement approach, and potential for business impact. Further, the best practices for improvement, the linkages with other metrics, and potential shortcomings. The metrics we present here are not an exhaustive list, but they cover various areas like employee turnover, recruitment costs, engagement levels, performance ratings, diversity rates, and more, offering a holistic view of the workforce's role in driving business success. ✨What other HR metrics do you normally use that impact or are important for your business strategy? #HR #hackingHR #peopleanalytics #hrmetrics #humanresources

It sounds like a copy of marketing metrics with "HR" slapped on top. Has any HR department actually implemented any of them in practice? I mean — tracking them systematically and, most importantly, finding a way to attribute its activities to those metrics? I've never come across such a case — to me it sounds more like an aspirational post or wishful thinking. But if I’m wrong, I’m happy to be corrected.
Recruitment cost shows efficiency. Engagement shows resilience. Both matter for strategy.
An interesting metric aligned with NPS is Employee Advocacy Score (EAS) . It measures how likely employees are to recommend your company as a great place to work. High EAS often correlates with strong culture, retention, and employer branding impact.
Fantastic job! César
