A Simple Ratio For Leaders To Use For Understanding Organizational Health

A Determinate Of Multiple Aspects of Success

Most Organizations have Useless Metrics.

Having metrics themselves is needed, but most of them serve NO Purpose.

For instance, in the Return-To-Office “Mandates”, we have seen some TRULY Useless Metrics.

For Instance, it has become more common for Leaders to track Badge Swipes and the Number of Hours in the Office.

But do these Metrics correlate to any form of Success?

Absolutely Not.

We are seeing the rise of Coffee Badging where Employees only show up to the Office long enough to be seen, before leaving again.

We also know that just because an Employee is sitting in the Office doesn’t mean they are being Productive.

For decades we’ve known this is True because the Statistics around Disengagement and Active Disengagement have increased despite increases in Hours Worked.

At the end of the day, these don’t help a Business at all, except “maybe” as a Vanity Metric.

If you run your Organization by Vanity Metrics though, you’ll lose.
