Topic Background:

For publically traded companies, HR management’s role has significantly become more important. They must now think strategically, be cognizant of Sarbanes-Oxley, Dodd and Graham, and the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines, and be able to use and report metrics and analytics. Key issues HR must address include using human capital to help their companies achieve business objectives, understanding how human capital makes their companies more competitive, and helping their companies identify and protect against human capital related risks.

From investors’ perspective, HR must now be responsible for more than managing leadership depth, leadership quality, and employee engagement. They increasingly must develop and report manage key metrics that indicate how the organization has performed, how well it is currently performing, and where the company expects to be in the future.

For HR, human capital metrics play an important role in responding to these issues.
