At the SHRM Conference Expo 2016, Ryan will be presenting the session “Understanding Metrics: How to Connect HR’s Goals to Your Business’ Strategy” in which he will be teaching key metrics that are vital to your organization’s success and how to ensure you have a seat at the executive table. The session will help you:

  •  Understand the three key metrics in business: profit and loss, balance sheet, and cash flow in addition to how they impact your organization as a whole.
  • Identify specific measurements within the scope of sales metrics, marketing metrics, web metrics, and customer service metrics.
  • Identify how HR can impact these metrics and how to frame HR’s role by aligning business objectives to HR metrics.

The presentation will be held on both Tuesday and Wednesday.
