14 Ways to Measure ROI for HR Automation Projects

Track Implemented Functionality for ROI Realization

Most HR automation projects have lofty goals of tackling anywhere between 4 and 12 existing “categories” of functionality. Then, when the heat of an implementation gets turned up, one by one, functionality starts coming off the table. And that’s the thing about ROI analyses; they’re done around the same time as the software is selected, which is coincidentally the time when the breadth of functionality to be selected/implemented is decided. So, to me, it has always been key to actually stand up what you sought out to implement.

If you really want to make for a meaningful number, take those 4 to 12 categories one level deeper, and you’ll end up with a list of about 30 functions you were intending to automate. Check on the percentage of those implemented at go-live, at the end of subsequent phases, and when the organization considers the implementation complete. That will tell you a lot about the realization, or lack thereof, of the intended project.
