INTRODUCTION
‘The prerequisite for measuring HR activities
is that HR understands the business. It
doesn’t make sense to measure something
which is not linked to business strategy &
objectives.’
Steen Wung-Sung, Head of HR Intelligence and Platforms, Tryg

BUSINESS PROBLEMS
• Is our boldest ambition to:
• Prove our worth
• Document our contribution
• Go from cost center to profit center
INSIDE-OUT?
• Or is it to build a successful business in collaboration with
managers, employees, and other stakeholders?
OUTSIDE-IN!

BUSINESS PROBLEMS
• Bad marketing performance = business problem
• Bad sales performance = business problem
• Bad financial performance = business problem
• Bad HR performance = HR problem?
19. MEASURING HUMAN RESOURCES - MAYA DRØSCHLER 2014
BUSINESS PROBLEMS
• BUSINESS PROBLEM:
• Does your marketing campaign work?
• Are you able to attract customers to your store?
• BUSINESS PROBLEM:
• Do you get return on investment from your talent management
program?
• Are you able to attract talent in the first place?
20. BUSINESS PROBLEMS
• We can measure:
• The how
• The what
• The when
• The who
• But the most important thing is:
• The why

CORRELATION IS NOT CAUSALITY

DATA AND INTUITION
• We need data – not just semi-data, but REAL data
• We need context data
24. MEASURING HUMAN RESOURCES - MAYA DRØSCHLER 2014
DATA AND INTUITION
• Opinions (semi-data) are also important, becuase they tell
us something about how people experience reality.
• Have crime rates really gone up?

DATA AND INTUITION
‘HR is a culture of intuition’

FROM TRANSACTIONAL TO
TRANSFORMATIONAL
• The police actually measure our speed – they don’t just
feel that we are speeding (if we are)
Will speeding ticket profits go
down when we all have
driverless cars?
Will the HR profit center close
when robots take over the
workforce?
28. MEASURING HUMAN RESOURCES - MAYA DRØSCHLER 2014
FROM TRANSACTIONAL TO
TRANSFORMATIONAL
• What is the most important outcome?
• Where is the value?
• Someone gets caught speeding
• The ticket is handed over
• The financial transaction, the ticket is paid
• The police prove their worth
• The speeding person changes his or hers behavior and society
becomes a more safe place
29. MEASURING HUMAN RESOURCES - MAYA DRØSCHLER 2014
FROM TRANSACTIONAL TO
TRANSFORMATIONAL
• The value is in the answers to the questions:
• What is the value of a more safe society?
• What is the value of a performance driven culture?
• What is the value of great management practices?

SOCIOMETRIC DATA AND HR
ANALYTICS
• Sandy Pentland to Harvard Business Review: We all have
an intuition about it. But because we can measure it,
social intuition is no longer magic; it’s now quantitative
science.
The study: Sandy Pentland outfitted executives at a party
with devices that recorded data on their social signals—
tone of voice, gesticulation, proximity to others, and more.
Five days later the same executives presented business
plans to a panel of judges in a contest. Without reading or
hearing the pitches, Pentland correctly forecast the
winners, using only data collected at the party.
