STEP 5 — Measure your progress
You should periodically review and update your human resources plan. Monitoring the results of human resources performance is an essential part of evaluating the progress achieved in priority areas as well as in allowing the organization to improve its overall performance.
Your assessment of the results of your planning can help you to:
- Determine future priorities and make decisions on the allocation of resources
- Support decisions regarding continuing programs and activities
- Provide decision makers with an opportunity to re-adjust strategies over time
Roles and responsibilities
- Establish accountability for implementing human resources planning and ensure performance agreements for managers at all levels include this responsibility
- Ensure that monitoring, evaluation and accountability mechanisms are in place for comprehensive integrated reporting
Questions to consider
- Are the human resources performance measures aligned with outcomes and indicators in the Management Accountability Framework, the People Component of the Management Accountability Framework and the Staffing Management Accountability Framework?
- Are systems in place to track performance indicators and analyze cost benefits?
- Do results from your performance indicators inform your priority setting for the next fiscal year?
