Many HR professionals find themselves swamped with the day-to-day challenges of managing their workforces - from motivating and retaining workers to complying with federal and state employment laws and trying to dig out from mountains of paperwork that never seem to get any smaller.

Beyond these tasks, though, your CEO (and the marketplace) are judging you by a different standard: The bottom line. Is your HR department viewed by top managers as a profit driver - or a cost center? Can you truly measure the effectiveness of your HR efforts in objective, hard numbers? Have you mastered the best ways to communicate the value of HR to your bosses and the entire organization?

During this 90-minute webinar, our expert speakers will teach you the dos and don'ts of using HR metrics to optimize your investments in recruiting, training, and motivating employees. You'll learn:

• Why it's absolutely critical, in today's economy, to place bottom-line values on what you do in HR
• The most important HR metrics you should measure in your organization (with detailed explanations of the math involved)
• How to build data gathering into your everyday procedures, so that the HR numbers you need will be there automatically
• Steps you can take to benchmark your HR metrics against other organizations (and to compare the numbers for your internal HR initiatives against those you outsource)
• What you can do in 2010 to begin communicating your HR numbers more effectively to your organization's top leaders and executives
• The most common mistakes employers make with HR metrics - and how you can avoid repeating them
