Meeting the challenges of high-performance HRUntil 1760 ships routinely disappeared, ran aground, or sank because seafarers could not measure longitude. The cost in life and property was immense. Today, business faces a similar challenge, as the failure to measure human resources performance is just as costly and deadly to modern organizations.Senior executives once considered HR a "soft," unavoidable cost of doing business, responsible for compensation, employee transactions, company functions, workforce problems, and legal issues. Three factors changed this perception: the significant impact of high-performance HR, the implications of poorly performing HR, and soaring HR operating expenses. These factors have led to an increased demand and focus on HR metrics.Ultimate Performance approaches this challenge by providing clear, proven measurement solutions that will optimize the performance of people and businesses.

在1760年以前，由于海员无法测量经度，船只经常失踪、搁浅或沉没，以应对高性能HRP的挑战。生命和财产的代价是巨大的。如今，企业也面临着类似的挑战，因为无法衡量人力资源绩效对现代企业来说同样代价高昂且致命。高管们曾认为人力资源是一种“软成本”，是企业经营中不可避免的成本，负责薪酬、员工交易、公司职能、劳动力问题和法律问题。三个因素改变了这种看法：高绩效人力资源的重大影响、人力资源绩效不佳的影响以及不断飙升的人力资源运营费用。这些因素导致对人力资源指标的需求增加，并将重点放在人力资源指标上。终极绩效通过提供清晰、经验证的测量解决方案来应对这一挑战，该解决方案将优化人员和企业的绩效。
