The strategy map shows the “big picture” of how each department’s performance contributes to achieving the company’s overall strategic goals. Many employers quantify and computerize the map’s activities. The HR Scorecard helps them to do so.
The HR Scorecard is not a scorecard. It refers to a process for assigning financial and nonfinancial goals or metrics to important human resource management–related chain of activities. That chain is required in order to achieve the company’s strategic aims and for monitoring results.
A digital dashboard presents the manager with desktop graphics and charts. It is a computerized picture of where the company stands on all those metrics from an HR Scorecard perspective.
