Selecting HC Drivers of Firm Performance
  • Where can we get the biggest bang for our human
    capital investment dollars?
  • key drivers will be organization and sector
    specific
  • however, there are some universal drivers of
    human capital value

7
The Crucial Three
  • The Working Group on Human Resources
    Effectiveness picked three to explore
  • an engaged workforce
  • effective leaders
  • strategy and processes to manage talent

Talent Management
  • Building human capital at all levels of the
    organization will be the primary factor in growth
    and organizational excellence.
  • David Ulrich, University of Michigan

What is Talent Management?
  • A popular and prevalent phrase whose meaning
    is still somewhat fuzzy
  • The Conference Board Inc. Integrated and
    Integrative Talent Management
  • The term is now used like confetti
  • Lance Berger Executive Excellence
  • Definitions range from a narrow focus on top
    talent to a broader set of integrated and aligned
    initiatives designed to build workforce capacity
    overall

10
What Is It?
  • Definitions
  • Talent are those people you want to keep.
  • TM is a comprehensive and dynamic process of
    building the talent pool through the development
    of aligned and integrated processes, practices
    and shared accountabilities by leaders around the
    human resource fundamentals of attraction,
    selection, development and retention of talent.

Resources Effectiveness

Talent Management...
  • Begins with defining the businessno matter
    whether that is serving the public or
    manufacturing automobiles
  • Then creating and aligning the organizations
    strategic human resource plan and all
    people-related practices to the strategic
    direction of the business

12

Measurement
Focus on measures that matter
There is too much focus on measuring what is
easy to measure and not what is right to measure.
HR professionals should measure the extent to
which it is contributing to building
organizational capabilities. David Ulrich,
University of Michigan
14
Why the Pressure to Measure?
  • Organizations are paying more attention to
    performance management.
  • Use of balanced scorecard, dashboards and other
    performance management tools on the rise
  • Firm expenditures on people rising
  • as people become the competitive difference,
    human assets absorb more capital dollars
  • there is more pressure to account for results

15
Where Should HR Focus its Measurement Efforts?
  • What really matters?
  • An efficient HR organization
  • affects about 1 of organizational costs
  • Well-designed HR interventions
  • are we pulling the right levers?
  • Leveraging people to achieve organizational goals
  • how can we enhance human capability to drive
    results?

Who is Using Metrics Strategically?
84
While strategic use of metrics is not widespread
today, it will increase

anticipating their strategic use of metrics
will increase over next three years
reporting high use of metrics to meet
strategy over past three years

The Challenge of Measuring Drivers of HC Value
  • HC value drivers are constructs
  • made up of many things, e.g., there is no one
    measure of engagement or leadership
    effectiveness
  • influenced by a variety of factors in the work
    environment
  • they drive a range of employee and organization
    outcomes
  • These determinants must be identified, their
    composite value calculated and tracked against
    outcomes that are important for your organization

Leadership
The difference maker in a turbulent,
competitive marketplace. John Wetmore, Former
CEO, IBM Canada. Ltd.
36
There is a Perceived Crisis in Leadership
  • Less than 1/3 of survey participants rated
    leaders as highly effective across a range of
    indicators
  • Less than 2 believed that their organizations
    had the leadership capacity to implement major
    change successfully
  • Source The Conference Board of Canada

37
The Essence of Leadership has Fundamentally
Changed
  • Leaders must still deliver results
  • Need for commitment and collaboration across a
    broad network requires relational skills
  • The root of the perceived crisis in leadership
    reflects company-wide breakdown rather than the
    actions or failure of one person.
  • Ram Charan et al
  • Building the Leadership Pipeline

38
Building a Leadership Pipeline Implications for
HR
  • Develop internallybuying may not be an option
  • Update curriculum
  • Update approach to learning
  • Boost emphasis on middle and first-line managers
  • Be clear about executable tasks of leadership
  • Organizations need to be more intentional
    articulate about the leadership skills they
    require more creative in designing experiences
    that help employees acquire them
