Developing Human Capital

Quantify and predict the true business benefit of learning and development

For decades, human resource management was more of an art than a science. Now, Developing Human Capital is guiding the transition to “big data.” In today’s business environment, human capital is the golden ticket to competitive success, and we now have access to mountains of data to help make the right decisions to build performance. It’s time to quantify the impact of learning and development investment. In this excellent addition to the respected Wiley & SAS Business Series, you’ll learn what to measure, when to measure it, and what to do with the data once you have it.

This book shows that human capital analytics really works.
