HR?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><p>You&#8217;re not the only one who has been wondering what OKR in HR means. &#8220;OKR,&#8221; which stands for &#8220;Objectives and Key Results,&#8221; came from the tech industry but has now changed the way HR departments work all over the world.<\/p><p>HR OKRs are structured, measurable goals that help make sure that HR projects are in line with the company&#8217;s overall goals. OKRs are different from traditional HR goal-setting methods because they focus on results instead of activities. For example, instead of saying &#8220;launch a new policy&#8221; or &#8220;conduct training,&#8221; they say &#8220;increase retention by 15%&#8221; or &#8220;reduce onboarding time to less than 14 days.&#8221;<\/p><p>This change from measuring activities to measuring results means that HR can:<\/p><ul><li>Show leadership how important they are strategically<\/li><li>Keep an eye on how it really affects business growth<\/li><li>Quickly adjust to changes in the organization&#8217;s goals<\/li><\/ul><p><strong>Example of OKR in HR:<\/strong><\/p><p><strong>Goal:<\/strong> Create a highly productive and engaged workforce by 2025<\/p><p><strong>Important Findings:<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Reach an 85% employee engagement rating on the yearly survey.<\/li><li>Cut the rate of voluntary turnover from 20% to 12%.<\/li><li>Raise the internal promotion rate to 25%.<\/li><\/ul><p>OKRs assist you in transitioning from reactive problem-solving to proactive business impact, regardless of your role as HR head, HR business partner, or L&amp;D manager.<\/p><h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_are_OKRs_Important_in_HR\"><\/span><strong>Why are OKRs Important in HR?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><p>In the past, HR has frequently been thought of as an administrative and compliance function.
