OMHR 5030 HR Metrics

An invitation to examine and question the current and emerging state of HR metrics and measurement. The course is designed to challenge students to move away from measuring what ?can be measured? easily towards metrics that change organizational behaviors and drive different business decisions. It also looks at emerging efforts to apply more rigor and science to the measurement of what have been historically regarded as HR ?intangibles.? The course affords a basic understanding of trends in HR metrics and measurements; advocates for a coherent HR decision science methodology that is well integrated into the organization?s overall people strategy; overviews technical issues and considerations; promotes best/next practices in HR metrics; examines the role of external/benchmark sources; focuses on organizational commitment and resource requirements; and seeks to establish a strong linkage between workforce measures and organizational success.
