The cost in life and property was immense. Today, business faces a similar challenge, as the failure to measure human resources performance is just as costly and deadly to modern organizations.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Senior executives once considered HR a soft, unavoidable cost of doing business, responsible for compensation, employee transactions, company functions, workforce problems, and legal issues. Three factors changed this perception: the significant impact of high-performance HR, the implications of poorly performing HR, and soaring HR operating expenses. These factors have led to an increased demand and focus on HR metrics.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Ultimate Performance approaches this challenge by providing clear, proven measurement solutions that will optimize the performance of people and businesses.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface vii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction ix\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCHAPTER 1 Imperatives of Metrics 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCHAPTER 2 A Path to Alignment 15\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCHAPTER 3 Supporting Human Capital Decision Making 23\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCHAPTER 4 Employee Assets and Contribution 35\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCHAPTER 5 Employee Contribution to Risk 47\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCHAPTER 6 The Employee Lifecycle—A Metrics Roadmap from the C-Level 59\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCHAPTER 7 Missions, Objectives, and Metrics 71\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCHAPTER 8 Measuring Staffing—A Better Approach to Hiring Metrics 93\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCHAPTER 9 Beyond Hiring—Metrics for Employee Development and Retention 113\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCHAPTER 10 Succession Planning and Internal Mobility 141\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCHAPTER 11 Current Measurement Practices—Lessons from the Field 169\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCHAPTER 12 Case Studies—Metrics in Action 189\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCHAPTER 13 Human Capital and Organizational Performance 207\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCHAPTER 14 HR Outsourcing and Metrics 221\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCHAPTER 15A Practical Guide to Building Your Ultimate Dashboard 235\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eConclusion 253\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReferences 259\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAbout the Contributing Authors 263\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 267\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Wiley \u0026 Sons","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53515432231255,"sku":"9780471741213","price":58.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/ultimate-performance-9780471741213","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
