Valuing people how human capital can be your strongest asset /

Synopsis

In order to be competitive in the global marketplace, corporate mission statements such as `people are our greatest asset' must be more than just slogans. Absent from the balance sheet of companies worldwide, intangible assets - people, customers, reputation, intellectual capital, ideas and time - are the essence of value for all knowledge-based companies. Valuing People: How Human Capital Can Be Your Strongest Asset provides provocative insight into how accentuating the value of people ultimately increases a company's net worth. Examples and anecdotes are drawn from interviews with professionals from a variety of industries who are practicing innovation and leadership, as well as from examples of business success stories.
