The most important KPIs in Human Resources

  1. Retention of talent

The rate of retention of talent is calculated by comparing the number of talent who joined the organization in a specific period of time vs. those who stayed during the same period of time.

  1. Duration in the position

  1. Average time for recruitment
    This measures the time between an employee leaving the organization and another candidate is chosen and selected to replace her/him. In any case this time should not increase more than a month plus any notice period that may be required by selected candidate who is leaving his organization.

  1. Training & Development
    Relevant training & Development Plan for the employees has direct impact on the organization activity. This KPI is meant to help boost the productivity levels of each employee .It enhance employees satisfaction level and loyalty towards organization.

  1. Average time to achieve goals
