For years, HR has tracked metrics that sound important but rarely move the business forward. Turnover rates. Time to fill. Engagement scores. These numbers often show up in quarterly updates, but they rarely shape real decisions. And let’s be honest, most of them are just activity trackers. Not performance signals.
We don’t need more data. We need better data. Specifically, metrics that reflect whether your people strategy is creating value. Not in theory, but in actual business results.
In this episode, we’re taking a closer look at five metrics that belong in the executive conversation. Revenue per employee. Talent density. Retention of top talent. Speed to impact. Clarity of expectations. These are not HR pet projects. They are operational indicators that tell you whether your workforce is built to grow, execute, and compete.
If your current scorecard wouldn’t survive a CFO’s question, it’s time to upgrade it. Because human capital is no longer a soft topic. It’s a hard edge. And the organizations that treat it that way are the ones winning in real time.
