The purpose of SHRM® 2011-2012 Human Capital Benchmarking is to provide HR professionals and other business executives with the latest data related to key human capital measures. In business, where the need to measure is strong, benchmarking can help identify an organization’s human capital strengths and weaknesses, create a framework for managing change, and encourage employees toward continuous improvement.
Yet for some HR professionals, when it comes to measuring activities around human capital, concrete measures can feel elusive. Numbers that relate to the context of a specific business—particularly the same industry, employee size, and geographic location—are usually difficult to find. But it is precisely this organizational profiling that is most beneficial; it enables similar organizations to compare themselves to each other.
The 6 industries covered in this book are
- Finance
- Government
- Health Care Services
- High Tech
- Manufacturing (Durable Goods)
- Manufacturing (Non-Durable Goods)
Plus combined totals.
