Measure everything

'What gets measured gets done', may be an old axiom but it still holds true. It is very difficult to prove that a strategy is being effective if it cannot be measured - it is equally true that you cannot prove that it is NOT effective, if it cannot be measured!

Instead of investing time and effort in arguing a business case - let the facts speak for themselves.

If you would like to develop a clear road map which provides:

  • fundamental examination of how human capital contributes to the bottom line
  • transparent assessment using established workforce metrics
  • a framework that can be built to your needs and used over and over again
  • the methodology for strengthening your human capital investment

then please contact us for an initial consultation to see if we can help you to quantify the contribution of your people to corporate profit info@evolveassociates.com

Consider the following key questions

close
  • Do you regularly measure the impact of human capital investment on your bottom line?
  • Do you share a common 'language' with your HR colleagues when discussing
    • the ‘costs’ charged to the business by payroll and benefits
    • the 'real' returns on investment
  • Do you resist benchmarking of pay and benefits as just a ‘chasing the pound’ exercise to keep you in the pack?
  • Do you believe that, in spite of a steady increase in the costs of extending the benefits ‘menu’, your business is benefitting to a corresponding level?
  • Do you believe that the organisation’s success depends entirely on the contribution of the workforce? If ‘yes’:
    • Do you currently measure this?
    • Do the results auccessfuly reflect your business strategy and goals?
    • Do the measures produce results?
  • Do you believe that cash, credit, materials, plant and equipment and energy, offer nothing but inert potential?
  • Do you believe that it is people that are the only element with the inherent power to generate value?
  • Are you regularly ‘reverse engineering’ your lagging indicators (such as turnover) to turn them into predictive leading indicators?
  • Do your current workforce data measures carry predictive potential rather than relying solely on historic results?
  • Do you believe that no amount of coercion, training, incentives or threats will generate value unless you view change from the workforce's standpoint?

If you can say ‘YES’ to ‘all of the above’ – then very well done! I would love to meet you to see how you have delivered on this success!
