DHHS Human Resource Management Index

Trend Analysis

The Human Resource Management (HRM) Index is a summary of employee perceptions of the work environment. Just as the Consumer Price Index is a composite of the costs of various market basket items, the HRM Index is a composite of various work environment factors including Morale, Climate for Innovation, Planning and Organization, Communication, and Operational Efficiency. The standard for the HRM Index trend analysis set the Department at 100 in 1990.

The chart below shows the trend of the Department’s HRM Index based on the most recent five HRM Index surveys (March 1993 through March 2000).The trend for NIH is also shown.

• The HRM Index for the Department increased since the previous HRM Index administration; this was not a statistically significant change.
• The HRM Index for the National Institutes of Health increased since the previous HRM Index administration; this was not a statistically significant change.

More information about the 2000 results is contained in the Web page: NIH Results on Individual Questions.
