In 2016, I wrote a blog post that achieved great success, not because of the complexity of its content or my exemplary writing. No, in 2016, I published the list of lists of HR Key Performance Indicators. A few years later, it is still the most read post on my blog. So I thought to myself, "You like lists? Well, I'll give you a WHOLE one!" Here it is, the list of lists. Forget the previous one; this one will be more comprehensive! I won't publish all the calculation formulas, I won't provide all the definitions, but you'll have a list! Quite a list! As a certain Dominique Michel often said, "This is my last Bye! Bye!" Well, I'm telling you, "This is my last list!"
People analytics is much more than a list of indicators! However, the enthusiasm of the HR function for lists of indicators probably reflects a relatively low adoption rate of analytics in our Quebec organizations. So, here is the list of lists.
The number in parentheses indicates the frequency of use of this indicator in the mandates I have carried out. This will give you an idea of the most used indicators. This list contains 298 indicators! And there are others!
