This study investigates the strategic role of HR metrics in enhancing organizational performance across RIICO units, a state-run industrial development agency in Rajasthan. Using a cross-sectional survey of 143 units, the research evaluates the maturity and integration of HR metrics and their impact on employee retention and operational efficiency. Descriptive statistics reveal moderate adoption of strategic HR indicators, while correlation analysis confirms strong positive relationships between HR metric scores and performance outcomes. Multiple regression analysis demonstrates that HR metrics and operational efficiency significantly predict employee retention, explaining 78% of the variance. These findings underscore the strategic value of HR analytics in public-sector enterprises and advocate for their institutional integration into RIICO’s decision-making framework.
