Human Capital Metrics
There are plenty of HC metrics out there – but they don’t all measure the same thing.
What are the differences between them?...
… and how do they relate to what’s actually happening in the workplace?

Metric types
Let’s plot the existing measures on that old favourite, the 2x2 grid.
X axis: how practically the metric is focused
Y axis: its scope , from the level of the individual, to dealing with whole economies

Scope Focus Applies to entire economies How does this affect our work? How does this help us better understand our assets? Applies at employee/team level Applies to individual companies Applies to aggregated companies Human Capital Reporting Grid, © 2007 Donald H Taylor

So the scope ranges from ‘Micro’ to Macro’
And the ‘focus’ from ‘theoretical’ to ‘practical’

The Four Quadrants
Roughly speaking, a different measure will exist in each of the four quadrants:
Academic Measures
Accounting Measures
Policy Measures
Operational Measures

Existing metrics
Metrics can be plotted on the grid.
They don’t exist at just one point, but stretch over a space on the grid
(Please ping www.DonaldHTaylor.co.uk if you think something’s missing, or in the wrong place)
Note the gap at the top right, the individual/practical corner of the grid

The Gap is Filled
People are filling the missing gap of the grid with their own, differing operational measures specific to teams and departments.
