Yet, astonishingly, there has never been a reliable way to quantify the contribution of human capital to corporate profit...until now. <P>In THE ROI OF HUMAN CAPITAL, Jac Fitz-enz draws on years of quantitative and qualitative research by his prestigious Saratoga Institute to provide a breakthrough methodology for measuring the bottom-line effect of employee performance. A prolific author, whose previous work includes Human Value Management, named Book of the Year by the Society for Human Resource Management, Fitz-enz has also been called "the father of human performance benchmarking." <P>This new book offers a rare blend of management expertise and quantitative metrics, showing executives and HR professionals how to gauge human costs and productivity at three critical levels: * Organizational (contributions to corporate goals) * Functional (impact on process improvement) * Human resources management (value added by five basic HR department activities). <P>With today's employee costs often exceeding 40 percent of corporate expense, measuring the value of this human capital is essential. Here, at last, is a resource that reveals how to do it and that helps managers determine how to invest most effectively in human productive potential. 173125 29 5 2000 The Roi of Human Capital: Measuring the Economic Value of Employee Performance total:4|5:1|4:1|3:2| 4 15 4 1 3 0 false false Tue Aug 26 12:29:54 -0700 2008 Tue Aug 26 12:30:53 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Tue Oct 07 10:22:13 -0700 2008 Mon Oct 20 07:06:24 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Thu Dec 13 08:33:37 -0800 2007 Thu Dec 13 08:33:37 -0800 2007 3 0 false false Mon Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2005 Tue Sep 25 05:08:15 -0700 2007 Tue Sep 25 05:59:47 -0700 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=179200
