Three experts in Human Resources introduce a measurement system that
convincingly showcases how HR impacts business performance. Drawing from the
authors' ongoing study of nearly 3,000 firms, this book describes a seven-step
process for embedding HR systems within the firm's overall strategy--what the
authors describe as an HR Scorecard--and measuring its activities in terms that
line managers and CEOs will find compelling. Analyzing how each element of the
HR system can be designed to enhance firm performance and maximize the overall
quality of human capital, this important book heralds the emergence of HR as a
strategic powerhouse in today's organizations.
