E42 | The Human Capital Scorecard Your CFO Actually Cares About | June 24, 2025


Listen Later

In this episode of the Talent Sherpa Podcast, Jackson Lynch lays out the case for a complete overhaul of the traditional HR scoreboard. Turnover rates, engagement surveys, and time-to-fill are out.


Why? Because they don’t tell you whether your people strategy is actually driving the business forward, or just creating more reports for HR to email out.


Jackson introduces a new, operational human capital scorecard with five sharp, business-aligned metrics:

  • Revenue per employee

  • Talent density

  • Retention of top talent

  • Speed to impact

  • Clarity of expectations


He breaks down how each one exposes what’s working, what’s failing, and what leaders need to do about it. If your talent metrics don’t show up in leadership meetings alongside your P&L, this episode shows you how to change that.
