By Ian J Cook | 3 Minutes Read October 13, 2011

The standards challenge

How do you measure turnover? Most people think they understand turnover. It is a simple and useful concept when it comes to understanding the flow of people through your organization. It is an important marker for determining overall organizational health and likely productivity impacts. If turnover is too high, your business stalls due to constant re-training; if turnover is too low, it can stagnate, leading to mediocre performance.

Do you track any human resources metrics?

Back in the heady days of summer 2010, our sister publication HRinfodesk began a series of polls on human resources management systems (HRMS) and metrics. In July, about one-third of respondents said they already use an HRMS and just over one in ten said they were considering it. In August, one-third of HRMS users said it makes their jobs easier, while the rest said the system offered no improvement or actually made things more difficult.
