Valuing people

by L Aldisert

Dearborn Trade Publishing, 2002

$79.95

For a company to progress in the 21st century it needs to move away from the balance sheet and realise the business potential of its intangible assets – the essence of knowledge-based companies. Aldisert, drawing on her experience of many years in strategic business growth and leadership development, turns the traditional view of employees as a business cost on its head as she explores the long-hidden realities of valuing human capital as the most dynamic force behind a company’s cash flow growth and increase productivity.

Valuing people: How human capital can be your strongest asset is broadly divided into three parts – the strategic importance of human capital, measuring human capital and how to develop human potential in the firm. In each chapter, Aldisert concentrates on a key trend’s impact on human capital and ultimately on the company’s bottom line. Practical and individual experiences serve as real examples of innovation, leadership and success stories of companies that have realised the business potential of their people and have also translated intoconsiderable financial benefits and a productive mindset.

The book is an essential tool for any HR professional and a great addition to any corporate bookshelf.
