Most of us have experienced, at least once in our lives, the \u201covertime\u201d cut! This is where staff are sent home because they absolutely CANNOT have overtime. The measure says we are not compliant so we have to send them home.<\/p>\n<p>What this is often missing is the knowledge of increased business and the current hiring process. It is completely logical that a company may have a drastic increase in business but the HR process of hiring new team members is keeping staff in overtime. This doesn\u2019t mean the business isn\u2019t healthy or profitable, it may just mean that your hiring process is slow and your volume of business is fantastic.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1426 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.smartcockpit.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/reachingPeakPerf-600x256.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"407\" height=\"174\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.smartcockpit.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/reachingPeakPerf-600x256.png 600w, https:\/\/www.smartcockpit.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/reachingPeakPerf.png 625w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 407px) 100vw, 407px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>HR objective \u2013 reaching peak performance \u2013 action follow up<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Measuring the right thing and doing so with the correct data is important to making efficient and effective decisions.
