Abstract
HR measurement is very simple when you know what you’re doing. However, if you make it overly simplistic, don’t be surprised if no one is interested in the results. HR benchmarks based on a spurious connection between business performance and HR practices convince no one. Effective and convincing HR measurement starts with clear causation, not correlation.
