People Management Framework

UHR developed the People Management Framework, enabling organisations to measure the impact of their people management interventions across the organisation, over time, and to benchmark internally and externally, using KPIs and other organisational strategic objectives within it.

Funded by HEFCE and UHR, and designed by PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) with input from over 50 HR Directors and universities and colleges in the UK, it is an exciting development that is particularly useful in a period when all organisations need to identify effective interventions to obtain value for money.
