Are you getting the full value out of your HR data? You may think you are, but if you aren’t benchmarking, you probably aren’t. HR Benchmarking is a strategy that contextualizes your organization’s HR metrics by comparing them to another competitor’s, an industry standard, or your own results from years prior. It’s one of the most effective ways to put your organization’s performance into perspective, which is why many HR professionals undergo the benchmarking process at least once a year.

In 2022, it’s no secret that data is power. Today’s most successful HR leaders use data to inform every decision they make, from deciding who to hire and how much to pay them to what benefits and perks to offer (and so much more).

Information is at its most valuable when there’s context around it. For example, I could tell you that the weather is perfect today, but without specifying that I’m talking about the weather here in Austin, Texas, those located in Mawsynram might be looking out their window at unrelenting sheets of rain wondering how I could say such a thing.

Since Facebook ads target users based on their likes, unliking pages that no longer post content that appeals to you will help you avoid irrelevant ads on your newsfeed.

Business owners and HR directors alike are aware that we’re currently in an employees’ market. HR analyst and industry expert, Josh Bersin, puts it like this:

Over the last two years, Charities Aid Foundation America (CAF America) has been working on a COVID-19 report series, an ongoing project in which they survey charitable organizations from all over the world to measure the impact of the pandemic on their operations.

Last year, Gartner made the prediction that by 2025, 20% of large enterprises will have adopted an internal talent marketplace to optimize the utilization and agility of talent. That’s a pretty bold claim, considering the adoption rate of these systems is still below 5% (full content available to clients).

In a Capterra survey conducted last year, we polled over 300 employees with recruiting responsibilities and found that 56% fear there are job openings that their employer will never be able to fill.
