Managing Human Capital as a Strategic Asset

People are the largest cost and the largest source of value in most organisations, yet they are rarely managed with the same discipline as financial assets. This programme gives delegates a framework for treating human capital as an investment that must generate returns. It links people decisions directly to organisational performance.
