HR as good capitalists: capturing HR in Annual Report

December 31, 2004

This old item from my backlog looked very appropriate in view of the recent bits here and here about whether HR people think and act like socialists, not capitalists:

Workforce.com: “Capturing the State of Human Resources in an Annual Report”

At a time when human resources is redefining itself as a strategic business partner that is financially accountable for its programs and policies, an annual human resources report serves as a diagnostic and promotional tool. . .

[T]he annual human resources report is a response to the evolving role of human-capital management. . . “We have to add value to the bottom line, and be a proactive partner and illustrate how our activities link to the company’s bottom line through cost-saving measures.”
Sounds pretty darn capitalist to me. And a good idea. Me capitalist too!
