KPI (Key Performance Indicator)
A measurable value used to track how effectively an individual or organization is achieving key objectives.
Definition
A KPI is a specific, quantifiable metric — such as attrition rate or time-to-hire in HR contexts — used to evaluate progress against a defined goal or objective.
Why It Matters
Well-chosen HR KPIs turn vague goals like 'improve retention' into something trackable and actionable.
