Application: Measurement of employee engagement for purposes of predicting productivity and/or as a tool for analytically deriving the reasons for low engagement so they can be addressed before they lead to low productivity. Commentary: Organizations typically measure employee engagement using survey results. Each survey will likely have a different set of questions or methodologies for measuring employee engagement. The Employee Engagement Index measures employees’ engagement with their jobs or day-to-day work. It is based on survey questions that assess factors such as the effort and enthusiasm they put into their daily activities. It is designed to measure the extent to which employees contribute their discretionary effort to the firm. Employee engagement is thus distinct from employee commitment, which measures attachment to the firm and views of the firm as a great place work.

15. Staffing Effectiveness
15.1 Turnover Cost Rate- < 1-Year Tenure
HR Metric: Turnover Cost Rate- < 1-Year Tenure Formula: Total Termination Value.< 1-Year Tenure / Total Termination Value Description: Cost of turnover for employees with less than one year of tenure as a percentage of the total turnover cost. Application: Measuring the cost of low tenure employee attrition. Also as a measure of staffing effectiveness. Commentary: Turnover Cost Rate—< 1-Year Tenure measures the percentage of termination costs that come from employees with less than one year of tenure. While this measure does not indicate whether turnover costs among low-tenure employees is high or low, it does indicate the extent to which the turnover costs are driven by low-tenure employees. A result of 40% means that 40% of all termination costs are from these low-tenure employees. Most organizations experience their highest turnover among low-tenure employees. Low-tenure terminations carry with them similar costs and productivity losses to other terminations. However, low-tenure terminations might also signal potential failures of recruiting and onboarding processes. Therefore, New Hire Turnover Contribution can help an employer to approximate the magnitude of turnover costs driven by recruiting and onboarding issues as compared to other potential turnover issues. The higher the result for this measure, the greater the volume of turnover costs that might be prevented through recruiting and onboarding improvement.

16.3 Training Quality
HR Metric: Training Quality Formula: Survey Results Description: A relative measure of the effectiveness of training courses. Commentary: Training Quality presents a gauge of the effectiveness of training. While individual organizations may use various survey instruments to assess Training Quality, a commonly used approach is that developed by Donald Kirkpatrick in the late 1950s. Under the Kirkpatrick approach, Training Quality may be assessed at any of four progressive levels. Survey instruments, assessments, tests, and other tools may be used to develop an index for Training Quality at any or all of these levels for various training courses.
Level One: Reaction—Measures trainees’ satisfaction with aspects of the training program, including topic, speaker, schedule, etc.
Level Two: Learning—Measures the knowledge trainees acquire during the program, including skills improved, attitudes changed, etc.
Level Three: Behavior—Measures the extent to which participants change their behavior on the job as a result of knowledge they acquire during training.
Level Four: Results—Measures the results of training programs, including higher productivity, improved quality, increased sales, larger profits, reduced turnover, and reduced costs.

17. Turnover/Retention
17.1 Turnover Cost Rate- < 1-Year Tenure
HR Metric: Turnover Cost Rate- < 1-Year Tenure Formula: Total Termination Value.< 1-Year Tenure / Total Termination Value Description: Cost of turnover for employees with less than one year of tenure as a percentage of the total turnover cost. Application: Measuring the cost of low tenure employee attrition. Also as a measure of staffing effectiveness. Commentary: Turnover Cost Rate—< 1-Year Tenure measures the percentage of termination costs that come from employees with less than one year of tenure. While this measure does not indicate whether turnover costs among low-tenure employees is high or low, it does indicate the extent to which the turnover costs are driven by low-tenure employees. A result of 40% means that 40% of all termination costs are from these low-tenure employees. Most organizations experience their highest turnover among low-tenure employees. Low-tenure terminations carry with them similar costs and productivity losses to other terminations. However, low-tenure terminations might also signal potential failures of recruiting and onboarding processes. Therefore, New Hire Turnover Contribution can help an employer to approximate the magnitude of turnover costs driven by recruiting and onboarding issues as compared to other potential turnover issues. The higher the result for this measure, the greater the volume of turnover costs that might be prevented through recruiting and onboarding improvement.

Employee terminations can carry direct costs as well as efficiency and productivity costs or customer service deterioration. Direct costs generally include departure costs (e.g., accrued vacation), vacancy costs (e.g., temporary replacement help, recruiting advertising), and new hire costs (e.g., screening, relocation, increased salary over previous employee). Other costs can include decreased morale, lost productivity while peers “cover” the vacancy, the lost productivity of recruiters and hiring managers for recruiting a replacement, and the ramp-up time to productivity required for the replacement employee.

In aggregate, the Offer Fit Index describes the level of offer fit across a number of specific job factors. The
Sample Human Resource Metrics
Competitive Edge Technology – January 2012 – www.cet-hr.com Page 136
index is also diagnostic—it can be disaggregated to identify those elements of a firm’s employment value proposition that are more or less aligned with the preferences of employees. Commentary: Organizations typically measure offer fit using survey results. Each survey will likely have a different set of questions or methodologies for measuring offer fit. A high level of offer fit equates to a high degree of alignment between the organization’s value proposition (in terms of compensation and benefits, work–life balance, work environment, etc.) and the specific preferences of employees. This level of offer fit impacts employees’ commitment to the firm, engagement on the job, and likelihood of staying with or leaving the firm.

Application: Measurement of employee perceptions of external opportunities for purposes of predicting employee turnover and/or as a tool for analytically deriving the reasons for low commitment so they can be addressed before they lead to turnover issues. Commentary: Organizations typically measure perceived external market opportunity for employees using survey results. Each survey will likely have a different set of questions or methodologies for measuring this dimension. The Market Opportunity Index measures employee perceptions of external job opportunities. In effect, it assesses whether employees perceive a new job would be easy or difficult to find. The metric is a proxy for the pull of a “tight” labor market, and it represents an exogenous factor—external opportunities—that the firm cannot control. Low results for Market Opportunity Index are likely to negatively impact employees’ commitment and likelihood to stay with the organization. Organizations can study undesirable results further to understand whether it can improve its standing among external market opportunities in employees’ eyes, if those employees are at risk of departing for external opportunities.

17.7 Employee Retention Index
HR Metric: Employee Retention Index Formula: Survey Results Description: Relative measure of the likelihood that employees will remain with the organization. Application: Measurement of employee intent to stay/leave for purposes of predicting employee turnover and/or as a tool for analytically deriving the reasons for turnover so they can be addressed before they lead to broader turnover issues. Commentary: Organizations typically measure likelihood of employee retention using survey results. Each survey will likely have a different set of questions or methodologies for measuring likelihood of employee retention. An Employee Retention Index measures the extent to which employees intend to leave the firm. It is based on survey questions assessing an employee’s intent to leave in the next year as well as actual job search behavior. Employee retention is thus distinct from employee commitment, which measures attachment to the firm and views of the firm as a great place to work. It is also distinct from employee engagement, which measures the effort and enthusiasm employees put into their daily work.
