The Skinny: Hackett formed a strategic alliance with The International Association for Human Resource Information Management (IHRIM) with mutual benefits: IHRIM members gained access to a Web-based benchmarking tool for process performance assessment and Hackett obtained current data for its ongoing HR benchmarking study. A two-sided "sell sheet" gave IHRIM chapter presidents an convenient tool for promoting the program at meetings.

Excerpt:

Make the Most of your HR Resources

Despite a 40% increase in technology spending since 1998, HR costs for the average company have actually RISEN 16%, to almost $1,900 per employee. How can you avoid this trap?

Weighed down by misused FTEs, excessive paper and labor-intensive processes, HR organizations face a daunting task as they seek the greatest possible return on their technology investments. Is there a simple yet effective method to uncover the information necessary for making meaningful changes? We have the solution.

Hackett Benchmarking & Research, through an alliance with IHRIM, brings the power of best practices benchmarking to IHRIM members through a fast, simple diagnostic tool that pinpoints opportunities and provides direction toward making meaningful, lasting improvements. Via an easy-to-use, Web-based tool, IHRIM members gain apples-to-apples comparisons of their performance against average and world-class performers.

The benchmark provides an independent, "trusted third-party" source of performance metrics, helping you implement both "quick wins" and long-term best practices strategies.
