Hi,
i guess to measure the effectivness of HR deptt,most of the issuses are data based,let it be Training,Man Power,Performance App,QC circles,5'S policy,Kaizen,MUDAS etc.
So we cant say that now HR is not data based,Mgt sees the result of HR Deptt,and like any other Deptt,Mgt wants HR Deptt to ready with data,reason being Datas makes the process of analysis easy,more accurate and less of history.
Thanks
