Today I want to talk about first year retention, a measure that I believe is going to continue to grow as a recruiting metric, even though many companies wouldn’t consider it even remotely linked to recruiting as of today. We were spending hours recruiting, training (each employee received over a dozen hours of training before starting work), and coaching these people, only to have all of that effort wasted. What do you think of first year retention as a metric?

Yet when evaluating a given company's worth, investors still rely on performance metrics that largely ignore an organization's brainpower. No wonder universal talent metrics are a touchy subject. Outside pressure and reporting initiatives aside, HR departments must learn to measure, share and explain the human capital metrics that matter to their businesses. Discussion and analysis to explain the metrics.

Human Resource Metrics are a crucial way of analyzing the successes and failures of your department’s outreach, influence, programs and processes. Allow your metric data to guide you financially and highlight your best talent, serving as proof of your impact and a record of progress. Your metrics will show you whether the outcomes of employee training, engagement exercise and any other talent-related communication was monetarily worthwhile.

One last thing to consider is developing the metrics for evaluating the mentoring program. So the metrics should correspond to those goals. Examples of metrics that can be developed include: Measures of program quality such as percentage of mentors and mentees that have met at least once per month and percentage of completion in the program. Measures of organizational impact are those metrics that help the organization achieve their goals.

Cost-per-hire (CPH) is one of the most intriguing recruiting metrics. Cost-per-hire calcuations don’t include any costs after employees are hired, e.g. training costs. SHRM and ANSI define this additional cost-per-hire metric. This metric can be more useful than CPH. Companies that use this metric consistently, have its one great advantage in mind. Another problem with the cost-per-hire metric is that it needs complementary metrics to be useful.
