HRCI Exam aPHRi Topic 1 Question 4 Discussion

Comprehensive and Detailed in Depth

HR metrics are data points (e.g., turnover rate, time to hire) used to measure the effectiveness of HR practices and processes. Collecting these metrics allows organizations to evaluate specific practices, identify areas for improvement, and make data-driven decisions.

Option A (Evaluate specific practices): Correct, as HR metrics are used to assess the impact of HR activities.

Option B (Market their brand image): Metrics are internal tools, not for marketing.

Option C (Increase company revenue): Metrics may indirectly support revenue goals, but this is not their primary purpose.

Option D (Meet staffing requirements): Metrics inform staffing decisions, but their purpose is broader evaluation.
