We have a rich database of people
management practices that comes from our survey work.
Some of this is quantitative data such as company survey
scores or training expenditures. We use the data to
create metrics to measure an organization against.
| We
also track qualitative data describing leading
companies practices in people management. For
example, we can tell you how the best
organizations handle technical training or what
innovative compensation systems they use. Here we
contrast the practices of the top 10% or all
companies against all others. This database of
best practices saves companies from doing costly
benchmarking studies. And we have much more data
to draw upon than a company ever would compile on
its own. |

Benchmarking the Human Resources/Training Function
Since 1984, Kravetz Associates has been benchmarking the
human resources/training function. A total of 330
organizations, including 250 of the Fortune 500,
contribute each year to our database of both qualitative
and quantitative data. Approximately 1200 organizations
use our Training Best Practices report to guide
their training and development activity.
Now your organization can join the club!
By doing so you can tap into this database and see how
you stand against the leaders. This database goes far
beyond mere statistics. It includes all of the
qualitative things that the top-scoring organizations do
that separate them from others. As a participant you will
learn what leading-company job competency databases are
like, how they use e-learning effectively, and what
innovative selection and compensation procedures they use
among many other things.
Learn what you can do differently to improve your
training and development or human resources function.
Learn from experts who have headed up large,
state-of-the-art HR/training functions.
What does the assessment involve? You can tailor it as
you see fit but the typical process includes the
following measurement tools:
| - |
Employee
Survey-- tells us how your internal
customers, employees, feel about human resources
and training activity at your organization.
|
| - |
Focus
Groups-- these provide qualitative data to go
with the survey statistics.
|
| - |
Direct
Assessment-- we meet with those in the
HR/training function and examine various programs
and activities.
|
| - |
HR/Training
Statistics-- this optional step involves
collecting data such as training costs and
instructional hours. |
You can determine the number of employees to survey and
the number of focus groups. Similarly, we can generate
breakout reports of survey data, meet with your
executives, and expand the assessment to include as many
areas as you would like. All the data we collect will be
interpreted in light of what the leading organizations
do.
What do you receive in exchange for completing the
assessment process? The standard deliverables are as
follows:
| - |
Normative
statistics for all quantitative data such as
survey data and training costs
|
| - |
A
written report showing your organization's
strengths and gaps in comparison to leading
companies
|
| - |
A
step-by-step roadmap far transforming your
organization to be like the leaders
|
| - |
A
copy of our Training Best Practices
benchmarking study |
This is an objective, confidential way to ensure that
your HR/training and development function is a leading
one. With the amount of change taking place in the field,
these are times of great risk and great reward for those
in the profession. Make sure your function is positioned
correctly. The investment is well worth it.
Let us help you just as we have helped many others and,
who knows, maybe your organization will be cited as a
leader.
