Managing Human CapitalOverviewRole in Managing Human CapitalToday’s Human Capital Management approach perceives employees as assets (human capital) whose current value can be measured with metrics and whose future value is also measurable and can be enhanced through investing in the development of employees.At the same time, the HR department must show compassion for the various situations in which employees find themselves.Small organizations often have team members performing multiple HR roles, such as benefits administration, recruitment, selection, payroll, and employee development/training. Normally, larger companies have at least one person in each of these areas. If a company’s HR team is too small for its number of employees, it is likely that employee dissatisfaction will rise because of delayed response times regarding resolution of issues. For example, an HR manager may not understand the timeliness needed for hiring replacement employees for various departments. If that happens, improvement in communications among departments is needed. If a new employee must wait for a busy HR staff member to update insurance records, filing deadlines could be missed.Legal ComplianceAll organizations, however, must follow employment laws and regulations related to discriminatory practices, retaliation for whistle blowing, or other serious issues.The following video discusses five manager mistakes that could lead to noncompliance issues.(Business Management Dailey, 2013)Business Management Daily.

Think about companies that do business overseas, and more specifically ones who use child labor.

Discuss the contrasting/conflicting roles of HRM that this might create -- one that approaches employees as “assets” that should be nurtured and valued, and one that utilizes child labor.Your 2- to 3-page paper should be submitted by the Module 1 due date.Enhance your submission by utilizing at least two valid sources not mentioned in this Module.Submit your paper to the SLP 1 drop box by the Module 1 due date.SLP Assignment ExpectationsYour submission will be assessed on the criteria found in the grading rubric for this assignment: Meets assignment requirements Critical thinking Writing and assignment organization Use of sources and mechanics Timeliness of assignmentModule 1 - BackgroundManaging Human CapitalA key ingredient to whether or not an organization views its employees as human capital to be nurtured and developed for greater productivity is the ability to analyze key metrics. There are organization-wide metrics that are often monitored on a routine basis. Some of the organization-wide metrics include, for example: Net profit before taxes Net profit on key product lines Customer satisfaction (by customer group) Company metrics are often viewed monthly or quarterly by the management of an organization with the use of balanced scorecards. Scorecards, for example, show unacceptable levels in red, while other metrics are green if they meet or exceed set goalsUsing employee satisfaction as an example, let’s look at how it might be measured. Since scorecards are often viewed only on a periodic basis, there could be a problem with employee satisfaction that goes undetected for weeks or months, before a problem is recognized. However, there will likely be signs that employee satisfaction has been impacted one way or another. For example, there may be changes in employee morale, tardiness, absenteeism, and/or other metrics measured by the company. So, while measuring key performance indicators is a great idea, managers must watch them frequently. Otherwise, by the time they learn that changes are needed, damage might have already been done.Specific to HRM, then, what types of metrics are important; what are their uses?HR metrics are numbers key managers of an organization are interested in monitoring frequently to learn the pulse of an organization. In addition to the highest organizational leaders, however, other managers watch the figures, too, including the leaders in an organization’s HR department. When a company seems to be turning over employees at a rapid rate, something is askew. When employees are consistently late to work or do not meet performance expectations, something needs more attention. Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are metrics that help reveal discrepancies that need further work.VideosADP. (2015, March 3). Rethink human capital management [Video file].
