Understanding and reporting human capital Nick A Shepherd

This book begins to build the bridge between traditional HR reporting and the new generation of metrics needed to understand the strategic role that people play in today's organizations. The book positions human capital metrics within an integrated thinking business model and seeks to address the challenges of emerging aspects such as organizational culture within the suggested approach. Part 1 of the book starts with currently available approaches that can be used as a base and then explains why these are no longer adequate. Part 2 suggests a framework for developing future metrics and explores emerging areas that will need to be addressed as human capital becomes more strategically planned and managed.
