The future lies in HR focusing on strategic people
management activities rather than administrative
deliverables and most organizations have started
to use some measures of human capital -
headcount, turnover, and productivity - or make
some assessment of the value produced.
However, there are certain principles you need to
consider to maximize the benefit you receive
from using Human Capital Management (HCM).
An effective tool for HR value proposition

The power of measurement is not the metrics or data you collect.
Rather, the benefit comes from your ability to use the information to
diagnose your organizational situation and make better decisions to

customer order or the person that comes up with efficiency
improvement ideas. Both of them add value well beyond their costs.
HCM helps you to understand the value.
5. HCM brings business acumen in HR.
HR is often viewed as the softer side of the business. It often struggles
to demonstrate its value. As HCM takes root in an organization, "soft"
