Requisite HRM©
The growth of the human capital value in parallel with the growth of the company’s value is the first sign that Human Resource management function does its work.
Human Resource Management
Talent as a capability to do the work of the certain complexity is one of the most valuable resources for any company. The higher the complexity of the work, the fewer the potential candidates who are capable of delivering effectively.
For example, in Life and Behavior of Living Organisms — A General Theory (2003), Elliott Jaques gives figures that are admittedly a rough approximation of the frequency of given levels of current potential capability in an adult population of twenty-on years of age and over: roughly 40% of the population are capable of delivering effectively the work of Stratum II Complexity, but only 4% are capable of Stratum III work complexity and even less, 0.5%, of Stratum IV work complexity.
In addition to relative scarcity, the competition for talent is high. Yet, companies frequently do not use the talent they employ fully and the potential of the employees is left unutilized. This untapped potential has a negative impact on motivation levels of employees and can lead to good people underperforming and/or searching for new opportunities outside the company.
In financial terms, companies with ineffective HR practices are paying for potential / capability they are not utilising effectively and experience a low return on investment into their human capital.
Objective of Requisite HRM©:
