13 Best HR & Workforce Metrics

I’ve written before about HR Metrics being the key to HR’s seat at the executive table. Given the fact that the HR and recruiting departments are non-income generating, having solid metrics are key to demonstrating to senior leaders and executives how strategic HR initiatives can help affect an organization’s bottom line.  But HR is more than just cost per hire, so I thought it would only be fair to share with you some of my favorite human resources measurement examples, metrics, and formulas to demonstrate and capture the value that your team brings to the table.

Winning an Unemployment Hearing: 6 Tips for Employers

Firing an employee, delivering a not-so-great annual review, policing employee conflict–there are many uncomfortable tasks that fall on the shoulders of an HR manager. But when asked what part of their job makes them most nervous, a common answer is unemployment hearings.

This anxiety often stems from a lack of knowledge about the unemployment system or not understanding what will be expected of them. Hearings usually revolve around one of two issues: whether the employee was terminated for misconduct or whether the employee quit for good reason.

Put your fears to rest and contest confidently with these tips for making the hearing process less intimidating:

Q & A


The Attention Span of Generation Y Employees

Question:

Am I imagining this or do Gen Ys have one-second attention spans?  How do you get and keep their attention?

Answer:

According to Bridging the Generation Gap authors Linda Gravett and Robin Throckmorton, many Gen Ys do come across looking like they are unable to keep focused for a period of time.

Increased Litigation Of Worker Misclassification Cases Should Place Employers On Notice Of Potential FLSA Violations

Worker misclassification violations under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) continue to be at the forefront of the U.S. Department of Labor's (DOL) enforcement priority list and of the plaintiffs' bar, which has filed lawsuits on behalf of workers who are allegedly misclassified as non-employees (i.e., independent contractors) or as exempt from overtime compensation. Two recent cases highlight the need for employers to review their workforce in order to prevent or mitigate potential damages resulting from such lawsuits and DOL investigations. In Arunin v.

Update on Publication of the New FLSA Overtime Regulations

The final overtime rule is edging closer to release: the U.S. Department of Labor (USDOL) has sent its final changes for determining which workers are eligible for overtime pay to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for an administrative review. Procedurally, this is the final step before a new regulation is published as a final rule. OMB's final review could take several months or just a few weeks. Once complete, the final rule will be published in the Federal Register and take effect within 60 days of publication.

Commentators believe that the final rule will work its way quickly through OMB and most likely be published by July 7, meaning it would take effect on Labor Day, Sept. 5. That has obvious symbolic meaning.
