Strategic Human Resource Management
 It is the linking of HRM with strategic goals and
objectives in order to improve business
performance and develop organizational cultures
that foster innovation and flexibility.
• It involves formulating and executing HR systems—HR
policies and activities—that produce the employee
competencies and behaviors, that the company needs
to achieve its strategic aims.
SHRM, HR Metrics and HR Scorecard; Prof. Abhipsa Mishra
The Strategic Management Process
• Strategic Management
– The process of identifying and executing the organization’s
mission by matching its capabilities with the demands of its
environment.
• Strategy
– A chosen course of action.
• Strategic Plan
– How an organization intends to balance its internal strengths
and weaknesses with its external opportunities and threats to
maintain a competitive advantage over the long-term.
SHRM, HR Metrics and HR Scorecard; Prof. Abhipsa Mishra
Business Vision and Mission
• Vision
– A general statement of an organization’s intended
direction that evokes emotional feelings in
organization members.
• Mission
– Spells out who the company is, what it does, and
where it’s headed.

Porter’s generic strategies
1. Overall cost leadership (McDonalds, Wal-Mart)
• Low-cost-position relative to a firm’s peers
• Manage relationships throughout the entire value chain
2. Differentiation (Harley Davison, Apple)
• Create products and/or services that are unique and valued
• Non-price attributes for which customers will pay a premium
3. Focus strategy (Rolex, Lamborghini)
• Narrow product lines, buyer segments, or targeted geographic
markets
• Attain advantages either through differentiation or cost leadership
SHRM, HR Metrics and HR Scorecard; Prof. Abhipsa Mishra
Value Chain
SHRM, HR Metrics and HR Scorecard; Prof. Abhipsa Mishra
Porter’s generic strategies
SHRM, HR Metrics and HR Scorecard; Prof. Abhipsa Mishra
Achieving Strategic Fit
• The “Fit” Point of View (Porter)
– All of the firm’s activities must be tailored to or fit the
chosen strategy such that the firm’s functional strategies
support its corporate and competitive strategies.
• Leveraging (Hamel and Prahalad)
– “Stretch” in leveraging resources—supplementing what
you have and doing more with what you have—can be
more important than just fitting the strategic plan to
current resources.

What are HR Metrics?
• Relating to measures
• Involving or proceeding by measurements
• Method of tracking the effectiveness of HR
• What you value about HR programs and
the equivalent monetary value
SHRM, HR Metrics and HR Scorecard; Prof. Abhipsa Mishra
HR Excuses Against Metrics
• “You can’t measure what we do…”
• Lack of clear purpose for measuring
• Lack of cooperation between departments
• Difficulty extracting data from multiple
systems
• Difficulty understanding and analyzing metrics
• Numbers used to draw inaccurate conclusions
SHRM, HR Metrics and HR Scorecard; Prof. Abhipsa Mishra
Why Measure?
If you can’t measure it, you can’t understand it.
If you can’t understand it, you can’t control it.
If you can’t control it, you can’t improve it.

Importance of HR Metrics
• Quantify the value of HR
• Guide workforce strategies
• Maximize HR’s return on investments
• Provide measurement standards
• Show what HR contributes to business results
• Make the business case for HR’s objectives
SHRM, HR Metrics and HR Scorecard; Prof. Abhipsa Mishra
Metrics helps to…
• Communicate performance expectations
• Discover gaps in strategies
• Make better decisions
• Address the trend towards value reporting
SHRM, HR Metrics and HR Scorecard; Prof. Abhipsa Mishra
What to Measure?
 Measure outcomes not activity
 Begin with efficiency measures
 Develop metrics geared towards your organization’s
goals and strategies
 Establish metrics to monitor key HR practices proven
to grow human capital
 Use metrics that will encourage change and help us
make better decisions about human capital
SHRM, HR Metrics and HR Scorecard; Prof. Abhipsa Mishra
• Creating a measurement team is recommended
• Communicate importance of metrics to team
• Team should select metrics together
• Determine how metrics will be defined
• Obtain leadership buy-in
• Disseminate the tasks
Collecting Data
SHRM, HR Metrics and HR Scorecard; Prof. Abhipsa Mishra
Strategic Relationships
• Process must be owned by Executives, Managers, HR,
Finance, and IT
• Takes time and will power
• May require an investment in information technology
support services to support human capital measurement
and reporting opportunities
• Requires the fostering of key strategic relationships to
ensure favorable outcomes

Cost per Hire Voluntary Separations
SHRM, HR Metrics and HR Scorecard; Prof. Abhipsa Mishra
Formula:
Total Voluntary Separations / Regular Headcount
Purpose:
• Voluntary Separation Rate looks at the percentage of regular
headcount that voluntarily left the organization.
• This metric is an excellent indicator of problems within the
organization, including but not limited to inadequate
compensation and/or benefits, lack of opportunities for
promotion, low employee morale, inadequate training,
and/or improper assessment of employee's qualifications
(over or under qualified).
Voluntary Separation Rate
SHRM, HR Metrics and HR Scorecard; Prof. Abhipsa Mishra
Voluntary Separation Rate
Calculation:
13,894 / 141,277 = 9.8%
Total Voluntary Separations / Regular Headcount
SHRM, HR Metrics and HR Scorecard; Prof. Abhipsa Mishra
Formula:
The number of business days to fill a vacant position. This is
counted from the day the position becomes vacant to the date
a new employee starts in the job.
Date of Hire - Date of Vacancy
Purpose:
• Time to Hire shows length of time it takes to fill vacant
positions.
• This metric is an indicator of organization's ability to recruit
and hire new employees.
Time to Hire - Definition
SHRM, HR Metrics and HR Scorecard; Prof. Abhipsa Mishra
Time to Hire - Calculation
1/6/2006 - 5/10/2006
Date of Hire - Date of Vacancy
=
44 business days
SHRM, HR Metrics and HR Scorecard; Prof. Abhipsa Mishra
Formula:
Total Training Cost / Regular Headcount Trained
Purpose:
• Training Cost Factor - average rupees spent on
training for each regular employee receiving training
• This metric is an indicator of the organization's investment in
training and can also be used to
monitor training costs and the organization's
return on investment.
Training Cost Factor - Definition
SHRM, HR Metrics and HR Scorecard; Prof. Abhipsa Mishra
Training Cost Factor - Calculation
Rs. 31,131,631 / 249,700
Total Training Cost / Regular Headcount Trained
=

The 10-Step HR Scorecard Process
SHRM, HR Metrics and HR Scorecard; Prof. Abhipsa Mishra
What is (balanced) scorecard?
• A set of measures/indicators (usually 16 – 36 max) that
directly reflect or represent the strategy/strategic
objectives
• Their prime purpose is to measure that the desired
change or development defined by the strategic
objectives actually takes place
• In short, strategic indicators allow you to measure and
manage strategy execution and achievement progress
SHRM, HR Metrics and HR Scorecard; Prof. Abhipsa Mishra
What is it all about…
Scorecard Objectives
 Enable a focus on the “vital few”
 Achieve alignment and focus on
strategy and achievement of our
mission
 Balance short-term, operational
decisions with long-term
strategic decisions more
effectively
 Unlock organizational capacity
by enabling employees to clearly
see where their actions fit into
the bigger picture
 An organizational alignment
& performance management
tool/process
 A communication tool
 A tool for ongoing learning
and refinement of strategy
The scorecard is not
just a set of
indicators …
SHRM, HR Metrics and HR Scorecard; Prof. Abhipsa Mishra
A true balanced scorecard…
• Demonstrates alignment with corporate
strategy/objectives (departments & BU’s),
• Contains a limited set of strategic objectives
and indicators,
• Is focused on indicator quality rather than
quantity (focused on measuring what matters
strategically)

MISSIONMISSION
Strategy Map
SHRM, HR Metrics and HR Scorecard; Prof. Abhipsa Mishra
What is a Strategy Map?
 It uses the same framework as the balanced scorecard
 It’s a one page document that describes how your
organization “creates value” and contributes at an
actionable/operational level to the achievement of the
overall strategy
 It provides a “picture” of your strategy
 It provides a uniform & consistent way of describing your
strategy
 A visual representation of the cause & effect relationships
between the components of your strategy (your “theory” of how
everything/everyone works together to achieve results – the story of your
strategy)

High-Performance Work Systems
SHRM, HR Metrics and HR Scorecard; Prof. Abhipsa Mishra
High-Performance Work System (HPWS)
 It is a specific combination of HR practices, work
structures and processes that maximizes employee
knowledge, skill, commitment and flexibility.
 Is composed of many interrelated parts that
complement one another to reach the goals of an
organization, large or small.
Developing High-Performance Work Systems
Underlying Principles of HPWS
SHRM, HR Metrics and HR Scorecard; Prof. Abhipsa Mishra
Principles of HPWS
• Egalitarianism and Engagement
 Egalitarian work environments eliminates status
and power differences and, in the process,
increase collaboration and teamwork.
 When this happens, productivity can improve if
people who once worked in isolation from (or
opposition to) one another begin to work
together.
SHRM, HR Metrics and HR Scorecard; Prof. Abhipsa Mishra
• Shared Information
 A shift away from the mentality of command and
control towards more focused on employee
commitment.
 Creating a culture of information sharing where
employees are more willing (and able) to work
towards the goals of the organization.
Principles of HPWS
SHRM, HR Metrics and HR Scorecard; Prof. Abhipsa Mishra
• Knowledge Development
 Employees in high-performance work systems
need to learn in “real time,” on-the-job, using
innovative new approaches to solve novel
problems
 Learning organizations
 Technology Enhanced Learning Environments
Principles of HPWS
SHRM, HR Metrics and HR Scorecard; Prof. Abhipsa Mishra
• Performance-Reward Linkage
 It is important to align employee and
organizational goals.
 When rewards are connected to performance,
employees will naturally pursue outcomes that are
mutually beneficial to themselves and the
organization.

SHRM, HR Metrics and HR Scorecard; Prof. Abhipsa Mishra
Implementing the System
Ensure that change is owned by senior and line managers
Allocate sufficient resources and support for the change effort
Ensure early and broad communication
Ensure that teams are implemented in a systemic context
Establish methods for measuring the results of change
Ensure continuity of leadership and champions of the initiative
Necessary Actions for a Successful HPWS:
SHRM, HR Metrics and HR Scorecard; Prof. Abhipsa Mishra
Benefits of HPWS
• Employee Benefits
 Have more involvement in the organization
 Experience growth and satisfaction, and become more
valuable as contributors
• Organizational Benefits
 High productivity
 Quality
 Flexibility
 Customer satisfaction
SHRM, HR Metrics and HR Scorecard; Prof. Abhipsa Mishra
Evaluating the Success of the System
Are employees actually working together, or is the term “team” just a label?
Are employees getting the information they need to make empowered
decisions?
Are training programs developing the knowledge and skills employees need?
Are employees being rewarded for good performance and useful suggestions?
Are employees treated fairly so that power differences are minimal?
Determining whether a high-performance work system has
been implemented as designed:
SHRM, HR Metrics and HR Scorecard; Prof. Abhipsa Mishra
Outcomes of High-Performance Work Systems
• Employee Outcomes and Quality of Work Life
 More involved in work
 More satisfied and find that needs for growth are more
fully met
 More informed and empowered, feel that they have a
fuller role to play in the organization and that their
opinions and expertise are valued more
 Have a greater commitment that comes from higher skills
and greater potential for contribution
SHRM, HR Metrics and HR Scorecard; Prof. Abhipsa Mishra
Outcomes of High-Performance Work Systems cont’d..
• Organizational Outcomes and Competitive
Advantages
– Higher productivity
– Lower costs
– Better responsiveness to customers
– Greater flexibility
– Higher profitability
