Making HR measurement strategic
• It does not require claims, but actions
• Requires a melange of Financial and Technical reasoning and
expertise
◦ Financial: because any strategic metric finally should be resolved
to a cost-benefit analysis
◦ Technical: because measurement is impossible without
understanding the construct measured

Established HR measurement models on ...
• e.g. Cascio & Boudreau (2008)
• We can now measure very well Cost & Gain for:
◦ Absenteeism
◦ Employee separations
◦ Employee Health & Welfare

◦ Employee Attitudes, e.g. Engagement
◦ Talent Investment

◦ Development programs
◦ Selection & Staffing

An example: Efficiency of personnel selection
• What methods can and will be efficient?
• When are tests useful?

• Can I assess how many misdecisions (mishires) I will do with a
specific selection array?
• Can I improve on this? When is it worth it?

Terminology
• Base Rate (success rate)
◦ The proportion of current job incumbents recruited without the use
of tests who perform well in the position

• Selection Ratio
◦ Proportion of applicants who are selected

• Test Validity
◦ Relationship between test scores and job performance

Terminology clarified in an example
• 100 applicants for 20 customer service positions
◦ (Selection ratio is 0.20)

• 60 out of these 100 applicants (60%) are likely to perform well
◦ (Base rate of 0.60)

• If applicants were selected at random we would expect:
◦ 12 are likely to be successful in the job (60% of 20 selected)

◦ 8 are likely to be unsuccessful (40% of 20 selected)
