San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) May 23, 2009 -- Metrics pioneer, Jac Fitz-enz, Ph.D., Founder & CEO, Human Capital Source®, will share his innovation and insight at the Northern California HR Association's sixth annual Strategic HR Metrics and Analytics Conference, June 4, 2009 in San Francisco. An acclaimed thought leader and speaker, and named by SHRM as "One of Fifty Most Influential Persons in Human Capital Management," Dr. Fitz-enz has been on the leading edge of HR management since founding Saratoga Institute and introducing metrics to HR 30 years ago.

This skill-building conference for strategically oriented HR leaders and professionals provides innovative perspectives for planning, assessing and communicating HR initiatives in relation to organizational performance, and demonstrates the effective use of HR metrics for calculating the ROI of training, developing predictive models for aging workforces, modeling the cost of turnover and more.

"Now is the time to leverage HR analytics," says Conference Chair, Steve McElfresh, Ph.D., SPHR, Founder & Principal, HR Futures®, and charter member of SHRM's Special Expertise Panel for Human Capital Measurement and HR Metrics. "Good economic times can make success seem easy and commonplace. However, such times foster lax management and loose business practices. Difficult as the present times may be, this period is also a great opportunity for those businesses - and HR professionals - who can bring a disciplined and analytical approach to their work. At the conference, we will explore some of the opportunities that lie amidst the rubble."
