The HR Scorecard

Linking People Strategy and Performance

"A compelling way to define and measure HP's effect on the bottom line. The book constitutes a breakthrough in thinking for the HR function."

Paul McKinnon, Senior Vice President of HR, Dell Computer Corporation

PROVIDING THE TOOLS and systems required for leading a "measurement managed" HR architecture, this important book heralds the emergence of human resources as a strategic powerhouse in today's organizations.

Three experts in the field outline a powerful measurement system that highlights the indisputable role HR can play as both a prime source of sustainable competitive advantage and a key driver of value creation. They draw from an ongoing study of nearly 3,000 firms to outline a seven-step process they call an HR Scorecard, specifically designed to embed human resources systems within a firm's overall strategy and manage the HR architecture as a strategic asset. Building on the proven Balanced Scorecard model, they also show how to link HR's results to measures such as profitability and shareholder value that line managers and senior executives will understand and respect.

The authors argue that human resources's strategic role begins with designing an HR architecture the HR function, the HR system, and strategic employee behaviors that relentlessly emphasizes and reinforces the implementation of the firm's strategy. Using compelling examples from a variety of leading companies, they explain how to develop and implement an HR Scorecard in order to both manage the HR architecture as a strategic asset, as well as measure the contribution of that asset to firm performance.

"At the root of every business challenge or opportunity is a human issue. If you believe that, you must take seriously the challenge of strategically planning for, and measuring the results of, human resource work. The HR Scorecard will both challenge your thinking in this area and provide options that you can use today."

Ralph Christensen, Senior Vice President of Human Resources, Hallmark Cards, Inc.

" The HR Scorecard works at both the theoretical and practical levels. It can help any interested manager develop a comprehensive, actionable set of models and metrics for assessing the strategic impacts of a company's HR architecture. HR departments can put it to immediate use in rethinking their contribution to business success, and in learning a meaningful language to communicate that contribution."
