Role Of HR
“HR is a tool, not the objective”
2
A strategic approach means taking a "longer" term, "big picture" approach to HR. Being strategic means operating HR programs or initiatives with the goal of making a direct contribution toward meeting major corporate long-term objectives. Rather than focusing on internal HR “issues”, a strategic focus means addressing and solving “business” problems through the effective use of people management
programs. The primary goal of strategic HR is to increase employee productivity and corporate revenue.

UNDERSTANDING THE ROLE OF HR WITH THE “FIVE LEVELS OF HR CONTRIBUTION“MODEL
6
Level One –Information Management and Basic Transactions
Processing of new-hire documentation, payroll, separations and benefits enrollment/changes
Providing answers to
employee and manager questions pertaining to policy, benefits,
employment law
7
Level Two – Providing Functional Services
This level incorporates many of the activities that create the standard functional areas within HR including:
staffing, compensation and benefits, employee relations, and training
The formation of standardized processes and policies for requesting more staff, developing staff, compensating staff, and performance management
Basic reporting on the status of talent management efforts
8
Level Three – Coordination of Efforts to Improve Productivity
Improving the over-all productivity of the workforce requires that HR develop initiatives to continuously increase the dollar value of employee output while maintaining or reducing the average labor cost per unit.Productivity Defined:
The term productivity means different things to different people; In Terms of HR-
a measure of efficiency with regards to the use of human resources within a firm. In either case, productivity is simply the value of the outputs a firm produces divided by the costs of producing those outputs. The formula for productivity is simply: Productivity = Outputs / InputsTo increase productivity, outputs must increase more than costs. There are two basic ways to accomplish this, decrease costs while maintaining output, or increase output while maintaining

How to Measure Employee Productivity?
HR must accept that it is their job to influence others within the organization to increase the productivity of our employees.
10
I. Revenue per Employee as a Presumptive Measure of Productivity :-
This is the first method to calculate Employee productivity. The formula to calculate this is
Revenue per Employee = Total Revenues /
Average # of Employees
Calculating HR Productivity Measures
11
1) A good starting metric, and one fairly easy to calculate is revenue per employee. The two pieces of date required to calculate this measure, total current revenues and current employee count, are often easily available
2) This metric is a very good indicator of efficiency when comparisons are made between firms of similar size in the
same industry.
Merits:
12
1) It fails to include the cost of the employees in the calculation
2) This is important because firms with a large number of highly paid employees would on the surface, report the same ratio of revenue per employee as a low paying firm even though the actual cost of employees would be significantly higher.
Demerits:
13
II. People Cost to Total Cost Ratio
Another simple ratio to calculate is to identify what percentage of total variable costs are people costs. Effective management strategies reduce costs while simultaneously improving employee output. The very best firms keep the ratio of labor costs constant and they use technology and productivity tools to increase output.
14
III. People Cost To Output Value And Units
The last simple ratio to calculate is to identify the ration between people costs and thedollar value of the firm’s output. A similar measure calculates the labor cost per unit of production.
The ratio of people costs to the value of the firms
output = Value of Firm Output / People Costs
Labor costs per unit of production (Units) = Number of Units Produced / Labor Hours Used
15
:
More Complex Productivity Measures
1) Profit Per Employee
Similar to the revenue per employee calculation, but the major difference here is that profit is substituted for revenue. For most firms, profit is a more accurate reflection of company success than revenue.
Profit per Employee = Gross Profit / Average # of
Employees
16
2) Revenue Per People Rupee Another measure of productivity is a ratio between
revenues and total employee costs.
Revenue per People Dollar = Total Revenues / Total People Costs
When calculating total people costs, include the cost of all wages, benefits, and HR administration.
17
3)People Profit
The ultimate measure in productivity is called "people profit." It is a ratio between profit and total employee costs. Firms that generate more dollars of profit per dollar spent on employee costs are the most productive.
People Profit = Operating Income (Gross Profit
– SG&A Expense) / Total People Costs
When calculating total people costs, include the cost
of all wages, benefits, and HR administration.
18
Things HR Can Do To Increase Productivity
Retention tools Referral programs Metrics (to increase accountability) and rewards that are tied to performance and productivity Identifying what motivates, challenges and frustrates employees Performance management programs that drop poor performing managers and employees Incentive systems that focus on rewarding managers for great "people management" performance On the job learning and growth opportunities (job rotations and special projects) Rewards for sharing best practices between managers Measures and rewards that Cross functional lines in order to increase cooperation Forecasting and workforce planning
19
Level Four :Development of
Competitive Advantage through Talent Level four signifies a major transition point as HR work begins to provide a strategic contribution.
Increasing competitive advantage is a focused effort to ensure that each key HR program and service is best in class when compared directly to that of competing firms.
The goal in level four is to identify and exploit weaknesses found in
competing organizations.
20
Typical competitive advantage building efforts include:
Competitive analysis of people programs found in competing organizations
Workforce planning and productivity forecasting
Employment branding Competitive intelligence gathering
21
Level Five: Develops Solutions to Strategic Business Problems and Opportunities
Level five represents the pinnacle of work providing strategic contribution in HR
They attempt to address strategic business problems in areas such as product development, product/service quality, customer service and corporate position
Typical strategic business problem and opportunity efforts include:
HR involvement in turnaround swat teams HR consultation in product design and development efforts Analysis of workforce management impact on time-to-market
and innovation Management of performance culture HR involvement in merger and acquisition planning
