The human resource (HR) function in organisations has evolved and matured to a substantial degree in India. HR budgets are increasing in most of the organisations. Subsequently, accountability in human resource management has emerged as an important trend. HR departments have started making attempts to measure the contri-bution of HR. In this background, the present study has been undertaken to identify measures of HR activities in India. Based on the information collected from 109 HR professionals across India, the study found that the attempts in Indian industry to measure the HR activities improved from a limited extent to a significant extent. But the focus of measurement is largely on traditional HR measures and not on business impact measures. Keywords : Humna resource functions
