Measuring HR’s Business Value, SHRF Workshop
At a Workshop on Measuring HR’s Business Value, participants heard how innovative companies are developing new approaches to measuring HR’s contribution to the business. They also learnt about the implications of growing stakeholder and regulatory pressure for HR to report on human capital to external audiences.

During the course of the Workshop, participants were introduced to the SHRF’s Measurement Excellence Model reflecting the evolving HR measurement agenda. Different aspects of measurement are represented in a two by two matrix with excellence represented by the effective delivery of external reporting with relevant information to support internal decision making. The model also takes into account the relative quality of HR information management and systems.

A straw poll of participants showed that most were in the bottom left-hand quadrant of the SHRF Model. However, some said that they had made significant progress to a mid position on the excellence curve and had implemented some of the practices.

What participants said about the Measuring HR’s Business Value workshop:

“The presentations were good, but the most useful part of the day was the roundtable discussion and getting a feeling of where people were organisationally. I found it of great value.”
