HR's Impact on EBITDA


Presented by Racquel Harris, MBA, President & Chief Strategy Officer, R. L. Harris & Associates, LLC


The proverbial seat at the table is awarded to critical partners who drive organization success. For HR professionals, this is centered on leading strategic initiatives that support financial sustainability through the organization's people assets.

Leveraging HR analytics to influence key financial metrics, particularly EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization), is vital to organizations. HR professionals must adapt to this evolving landscape to play a strategic role in driving profitability and financial health. Through HR Analytics, attendees will learn how to analyze workforce data to address common HR challenges like turnover, performance, and employee development while directly impacting their organization’s financial performance.

Harris will share her favorite and most effective tools for making data-driven decisions in workforce management, cost optimization, and employee development. Harris leads participants through an exploration of the intricate relationship between human capital and financial capital, and how their strategic initiatives can affect profitability metrics such as EBITDA. By the end of the course, attendees will be able to identify key performance indicators (KPIs), implement targeted interventions, and develop a comprehensive understanding of how HR contributes to overall organizational value. This course is essential for HR executives looking to strengthen their influence on financial outcomes and align HR strategies with business goals.
