Overhead and other cost to perform the process "manage employee relations" as a percentage of total process cost

This measure calculates the percentage of the total cost to perform the process "manage employee relations" that comes from overhead and other costs. Core components of this process include the policies and practices concerned with the management and regulation of relationships between the organization, the individual staff member, and groups of staff within the working environment. Overhead costs refer to those that an organization cannot identify as direct costs of performing a process; these include occupancy, facilities, utilities, and maintenance, etc. Other costs include costs other than personnel, equipment, material, systems, or outsourced costs (e.g., costs for supplies and office equipment, travel, training and seminars). This measure is part of a set of Supplemental Information measures that help companies evaluate additional variables not covered elsewhere for the "manage employee relations" process.
