The HR Scorecard

In The HR Scorecard, Dave Ulrich, Brian Becker and Mark Huselid explain how to understand and optimize the ways people create value.

The HR Scorecard introduces a new way of measuring and thinking about the contributions of individuals to business success, arguing that the role of Human Resources is increasingly important, as company assets become more intangible and reliant on intellectual capital. The authors provide a framework that focuses on identifying where Human Resources issues are performance drivers--or impediments--to strategy implementation. The book also develops a measurement system that provides valid, reliable indicators of Human Resources' contribution to the success of strategy implementation, and ultimately to firm performance. Includes recommendations supported by clear and persuasive examples, as well as the authors' unique survey of 2,800 firms.
