Research helps you leverage the information that already exists in your organization. The best way to improve
your profitability is to measure the linkages between your management practices,  employee performance and 
business outcomes.  
 

	Recruitment Research Improve your staffing efficiencies by gathering information on the effectiveness of your recruiters, candidate sources, advertising strategies, recruitment processes, and timing.  Research may examine recruiter personality traits as they link to your recruitment strategies and policies.  Biographical data gathering may also be useful.

	Selection Research Improve selection accuracy and consistency by understanding the relationships between specific talents and performance outcomes. Selection research involves an initial benchmarking study of your current high performers, development of performance metrics and monitoring systems, statistical analysis and periodic quality process improvements.
	Retention Research Employee relationships with a company have a life-time value or life-cycle that needs to be managed for maximum value.  Each time a there is a significant career event, like a promotion, pay raise, demotion or departure it should be recorded in the tenure tracking system.  After monitoring these observations for a period of time, the company will be able to see what human factors and business practices contribute to advancement, tenure, or departure. The company can eventually determine what the probabilities are for these events based on the employee’s profile. Retention research can help identify the root causes of high impact business outcomes such as employee turnover and absenteeism.  Retention research involves the development of tenure tracking systems, exit interviews and performance monitoring.
	Productivity Research Evaluate outputs relative to inputs in capital, equipment or human labor. Productivity research will focus on efficiency, effectiveness, speed, and other units of measurement of interest to the organization.  Profit per employee is the fundamental human capital metric.  It quickly shows the company's human capital management effectiveness in a simple ratio of human outputs (revenue per employee) relative to human inputs (cost per employee).
	Performance Research A manager can’t predict results unless they are measuring the behaviors that drive performance.  Performance research identifies the skills, values, preferences, talents and competencies that drive performance in your key positions.  Research usually involves deployment of a performance monitoring system.
