I have done it. The problem with activity based costing in HR is that we seem to focus on the activity as the result and not on the means to the result. For example, if you are building a bridge, activity based costing can be broken down into the various things that go into building a bridge. If you are hiring someone the focus should be on the successful result, acquiring and retaining a successful employee. This would mean that the activities costed against that should include the advertising and interviewing costs but not be limited to them. Training and development costs, benefit costs, slary costs and other investments should be factored in.
Hope this helps. Happy to correspond with you directly if you would like. Kim |
