Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human Capital Management (HCM) has recently been described as a high-level strategic issue that seeks to analyze, measure and evaluate how people policies and practices create value. Put simply, HCM is about creating and demonstrating the value that great people and great people management add to an organization. This unique book describes how HCM provides a bridge between human resource management and business strategy. It also demonstrates how organizations can use the concepts of human resource management and the processes involved to enhance the value they obtain from people while continuing to meet their aspirations and needs. Baron and Armstrong explain how to achieve these objectives using various approaches including describing the concept of HCM and how the process works, discussing its application in numerous areas within an organization and examining the role of HR in HCM and the future of the concept. It also contains a toolkit which organizations can use to develop their own HCM policies and practices.

Chapter 1 With the shift from “human resources” to “human capital management” (HCM), public agencies are striving to strategically manage their workforces. Sally Selden’s groundbreaking book moves far beyond describing best practices and offers the context in which innovative practices have been implemented. She details how agencies are creating performance-aligned workforces by adopting systems and policies that are driven by their strategic missions. This book covers core topics of personnel courses—including hiring, training, retention, performance, and recognition—but also includes integrated coverage on measuring success through assessment. Further helping readers grasp how HCM works, the book uses original data from the Government Performance Project and incorporates many comparative examples across a wide range of states, plus federal and municipal agencies. Unlike anything else available, Human Capital fills a critical gap for both students and public personnel professionals.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Strategic Management of Human Capital in Education offers a comprehensive and strategic approach to address what has become labeled as "talent and human capital." Grounded in extensive research and examples of leading edge districts, this book shows how the entire human resource system in schools—from recruitment, to selection/placement, induction, professional development, performance management and evaluation, compensation, and career progression—can be reformed and restructured to boost teacher and principal effectiveness in ways that dramatically improve instructional practice and student learning. Strategic Management of Human Capital in Education guides educators towards putting more effective teachers, teacher leaders, and principals in the country’s schools—especially in poverty-impacted urban and rural communities—equipping those teacher and principals with instructional and leadership expertise, and rewarding and retaining those who are successful in attaining these objectives. Drawing from cases, experiences, and deliberations from a national task force, this book outlines a comprehensive framework for how to transform current human resource management practices into authentic, strategic talent management systems in order to improve student achievement.
Download or read book Human Resources or Human Capital written by Andrew Mayo and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-13 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are people really an organisation's most important asset? Not necessarily; some may be liabilities - but others are the most important drivers of value that an organisation has. But...who are they? How do you know? How can you maximise the value they have and the value they provide? Finding the answers to questions like these is what human capital management is about. Whether public or private, successful achievement depends first on the capability of people, and secondly on their commitment and productivity. Andrew Mayo's Human Resources or Human Capital? discusses how you can ensure the most effective management of these value creating assets. The first part of the book also shows how to create an integrated framework of measures that can become an integral part of the organisation's performance management - and how companies have done this in practice. Part Two shows how to do this strategically and successfully, and how HR can be a serious and credible 'Business Partner', enabling managers to achieve their goals through their people and adding real value to all the stakeholders of the organisation.
Download or read book Human Capital Management written by Mark Salsbury and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-10 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We're constantly looking for ways to make our companies or organizations more successful.We often ask ourselves: “What can we do to develop and drive maximum organizational performance?“ “How can we separate ourselves from the competition?” “How can we build a long-term sustainable advantage?” It used to be that organizations could differentiate themselves through such means as product leadership, advanced technology, geographic coverage or process management tools and systems. But in today's ultra-competitive global business environment, these advantages are short-term and temporary. The reality is that the only long-term sustainable advantage that remains is the “people.” However, leveraging your workforce as a practice isn't so easy to understand, let alone accomplish… unless you have a roadmap or path to help you along the way. Human Capital Management: Leveraging Your Workforce for a Competitive Advantage is just that. Your roadmap to maximizing your most important organizational asset: your people. This roadmap is centered on Human Capital Management as a practice, and focuses on how to successfully implement organizational goals that are heavily reliant on the collective efforts of the people in your organization. This book is practical, and from a seasoned business executive's point of view. It's relevant for any size organization, both for profit and not-for-profit. Real-life examples are included to support the principles and key learning points. This book was written primarily for people who are in a position to directly and significantly influence an organization through its human capital, that is, CEOs, HR managers and other leaders who are charged with the responsibility to make their organizations successful. It's also applicable to aspiring managers, professionals, and students who can learn new organizational and management techniques that will be helpful to them as they navigate their careers. Whether you're a student aspiring to be a business leader, an already seasoned exec or someone who would like to climb the ranks of their company, this book has plenty of resources to offer with supporting anecdotes that can help not only you, but your organization benefit as a whole.

Moreover, the book identifies best practices in areas such as the design of the HR organization and HR metrics.

For the first time, the study features comparisons between U.S.-based firms and companies in China, Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, and other European countries.
