What is HR Performance Score?
An HR benchmark evaluates your people function across time-to-hire, employee turnover, training spend per employee, and engagement scores.
The Formula
Score = (ฮฃ Category Scores รท Number of Categories) ร 100
Worked Example
A mid-size company: 32-day time-to-hire, 18% turnover, $800 training spend/employee, 72% engagement.
- Time-to-hire: 28/32 target ratio = 88/100
- Turnover: 15/18 target ratio = 83/100 (lower is better)
- Training: 800/1000 target = 80/100
- Engagement: 72/80 target = 90/100
- Overall = (88 + 83 + 80 + 90) รท 400 ร 100 = 85%
๐ HR scores 85% โ good engagement but training investment and turnover have room for improvement.
Why This Matters
Cost of turnover
Replacing an employee costs 50-200% of their salary. Reducing turnover by 5% can save hundreds of thousands annually.
Talent competitiveness
Companies with strong HR benchmarks attract 50% more qualified applicants and fill roles 40% faster.
Productivity impact
Engaged employees are 17% more productive. HR benchmarks directly correlate with company performance.
Common Mistakes
โ Measuring activity not outcomes
Tracking number of training hours means nothing without measuring skill improvement and business impact.
โ Blended turnover figures
Voluntary and involuntary turnover have different causes. Regrettable turnover (losing top performers) matters most.
โ Annual-only engagement surveys
Yearly surveys miss trends. Quarterly pulse surveys catch issues before they become resignations.
