• ROI Redefined: A New Definition Aligned With Business Needs
  If you are in the human resources function, at some point you will be challenged about the value of your activities. Business operates according to the laws of limited resources. Not everything the organization does is worth doing. Every activity should be open to assessment and questioning. Adjustments should be made, and new directions should be taken, if there is a better, more efficient, more productive or meaningful approach available. But how does the organization assess and measure value? Is there a double standard in place for HR activities compared to, for example, what is done through marketing or finance? A Return On Investment (ROI) assessment of a Human Resources process should add quality information to the decision making process by providing light on the impact of an initiative that has been designed to meet the organization’s strategic business plan. Only then can we be confident that an initiative will be worthy of the precious resources it will draw.
