Metrics Series: Developing a Business Case for HR August 5, 2010

6 CPE Credits, Qualifies for Strategic Credit

The business role of HR includes optimizing the value of human capital, just as Finance departments optimize the value of financial capital. You will learn the steps in building an effective, analytics-based HR business proposal, and will apply these steps to your own proposal(s). This is a "hands-on" lab and it is expected that participants will come with one or more ideas for program/policy proposals to work on - the more controversial, expensive or difficult - the better!

In this second seminar in the HR Metrics series, you will develop skills to:

* Uncover people-related goals important to your business leaders
* Enhance alignment between business drivers and HR efforts
* Generate commitment from line management to your programs
* Develop an HR business case, monetize HR results, and assess the bottom-line impact of human capital programs and initiatives

You will be provided a structured workbook to support your continuing efforts in building your case.

Who Should Attend:

* HR leaders and professionals with some experience in HR metrics and analytics
* Anyone responsible for developing and proposing human capital-related initiatives and programs
