Why you should read The HR Scorecard
Authors Brian E. Becker, Mark A. Huselid and Dave Ulrich teach human resources (HR) executives that everything their departments do can influence their companies’ profits - but not just in terms of their administrative actions. HR can have a meaningful impact on the corporation by developing employees’ in-depth awareness of the business, studying the drivers that generate the employee behaviors that move the company’s strategy forward and establishing a new core competency model for HR professionals. getAbstract.com strongly recommends this book as essential for HR executives - and as an illuminating text for other corporate leaders, right up to CEOs. While your company’s HR department may already measure performance, chances are those measurements don’t evaluate the real dollars-and-cents impact on the bottom line. In fact, this book shows how to determine what to measure with your HR Scorecard, how to measure it and how to report back in fiscal terms that upper management can appreciate. This is an affirmation and a roadmap for everyone who ever wanted to prove that HR, strategically deployed, can significantly influence a company’s performance and profitability.
