From Indeed, the recruitment consultants: An average HR staff to employee ratio is around 2.57 for all organizations. Small organizations have higher ratios with an average of 3.40. Medium organizations often have ratios around 1.22 while a normal ratio for large organizations is 1.03. If the goal of the HR department is asset prevention, then a ratio of 1.00 for large employers is often the standard. 0.60 is a normal ratio for departments focused on asset creation. The standard rule is often 1.4 HR staff for every 100 employees.
Freedom of Information data released to The Times shows 17,131 staff in the public service bits of the BBC, 331 of them in Human Resources. Just over 1.9 per 100 employees. By any standards, 17,000 denotes a large organisation.
Wtf is HR asset prevention? Google tells me it's about human capital risk management. Ok, so what's that?
ReplyDelete'Human capital risk management involves understanding the potential risks associated with managing an organisation's human capital or human resources. Properly managed human capital risk makes it easier for an organisation to recruit new workers and improve morale within its work force.'
We need to get these ratios DOWN. Waaay down.
