An evaluation of HR costs involves calculation of ROI (Return on Investment) on Human Capital, which generally encompasses an assessment of the benefits or the positive outcomes and also the costs or the negative outcomes of HR led initiatives/practices. The evaluation of costs and benefits of HRIS can be performed with the help of various techniques:
Methods for estimating the value of indirect benefits: These are typically estimated in dollars. It involves a calculation of the Average Employee Contributions (AEC). AEC is derived by calculating the difference between the net revenue of an organization and the cost of goods sold divided by the total number of employees. In short, AEC = (Net Revenues – Cost of Goods Sold)/number of employees.

Until and unless, a proper Cost Benefit Analysis is done, decision-makers will not be able to estimate the expenditures on investment. The process enhances the strategies for a firms effectiveness. Extensive analysis should be done by the decision-maker through proper identification of direct and indirect cost and benefits.
Variance Analysis: Variance Analysis is one of the methods for assessing the indirect benefits and can equally be used as a measure in the evaluation process. This involves an assessment of the financial and operational data for identifying and ascertaining the cause of the variance which is identified. In project management, this technique can be very useful for evaluating and review the progress in a project, maintaining budgetary control by assessing the planned as well as the actual costs incurred in a project.
