English term

batting average

Non-PRO English to Spanish Bus/Financial HumanResources
By and large, HR (Human Resources) executives make poor promotion and staffing decisions. By all accounts, their batting average is no better than .333 at most, one-third of the decissions turn out right, but the remainder are minimally effective or are outright failures

Hola Carlos!
Esto es literal...pero se podría utilizar para tu contexto: "promedio de éxito" o, "promedio de decisiones acertadas o correctas".

Suerte!

this is a British saying

referring to cricket.

It's outdated now, but the phrase lives on. If I were you, I would leave it at "PROMEDIO", nothing else.

HTH ... :o)

Carlos,
no es más complicado que
\"EL PROMEDIO DE TOMA DE DECISIONES\"

Espero que te ayude... :o)
Peer comment(s):

agree Maria-Jose Pastor : El premoedio de las decisiones. I thought this expression came from Baseball, not cricket, interesting.

Promedio al Bate

Expresa el número de veces que conectó con la pelota dividido por el número de veces al bate (beisbol/basball)

En esta ilustración, se refirere al porcentaje de éxito en las decisiones del departamento de personal- específicamente, que sólo hacen buenas decisiones 1/3 de las veces- un "record" fatal!!!
