Good HR OKRs
HR professionals have many areas of responsibility such as employee engagement, hiring, and onboarding. Improvement in these areas can have a significant impact on the company’s performance. However, it could be hard to decide where to begin and how to measure success.
Objectives and Key Results, a collaborative goal-setting tool, help HR teams single out improvement areas and define achievable quarterly outcomes that will get the HR team closer to their long-term goals.
One of the most popular Objectives that our customers in Weekdone identify as the highest priority is to increase employee happiness, improve engagement, and boost motivation. You might say that it’s hard to measure cultural change but somehow everyone in the organization can always feel if this change is happening. So if bad culture is so obvious, and changes for the better are immediately noticeable, how can this change be impossible to measure? Moreover, employee engagement is only one of many areas HR teams can impact with the power of OKRs.
You will find some good HR OKR examples below. Use them as a reference when you are trying to come up with your own Human Resource OKRs.
