Answer to Question 1

Answer: TRUE

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A human resource metric is the quantitative measure of some human resource management yardstick such as employee turnover, hours of training per employee, or qualified applicants per position. You can use such metrics to assess your own company's HR performance, and to compare one company's with another's. Human resource metrics are critical in creating high-performance human resource policies and practices. This is because they enable managers to benchmark. Benchmarking means comparing and analyzing the practices of high-performing companies to your own in order to understand what they do that makes them better.
