Jac Fitz-enz and other thought leaders in the HR community have long been advocates of HR metrics – challenging us to measure our results and our efficiency. Now they are challenging us again, to bring our game to the next level by tracking and reporting our contribution to the organizational bottom line. In order to do so, we need to first step back and consider the cause and effect; to understand leading indicators (the things we must get right in order to achieve the outcomes we are accountable to achieve) and trailing indicators. In this workshop, we will uncover and explore the leading indicators over which HR has the greatest control. They are the factors that have the greatest influence over employee engagement and turnover, productivity in the workplace, customer satisfaction, and even the company’s financial performance. Once these leading indicators are exposed, we will offer three simple strategies that will help you and your team to put them to work in your organization right away.

In essence many of us are "accidental" CEOs. Consider the following questions; of your executive team, how many are NOT strategic thinkers? Shouldn't they be? And, imagine if your Executive Team comes into your office tomorrow and submits their resignations. Knowing you could easily replace them within 30 days, how many of their resignations would you accept? If your answer is 1 or more to either question, then you should consider upgrading your staff. Author, CSP and CEO Bill Wagner's academic research provides us with a tremendous big picture view, but not the critical "how to." You will leave Managing the Gap with a behavioral how to.
