Hi, Amrita.

"Magic Numbers for Human Resource Management - Basic Measures to Achieve Better Results" by Hugh Bucknall and Zheng Wei (ISBN 0-470-82161-2). This is a practical book that provides the first roadmap to explore the multiple levels of HR information and how to build data to calculate the HR metrics. It's a definitive guide for every HR Department.
