Investing in people. Financial Impact of Human Resource Initiatives by Wayne Cascio & John Boudreau

Description

Investing in People: Financial Impact of Human Resource Initiatives by Wayne Cascio and John Boudreau offers a practical and research-backed framework for HR professionals and business leaders to measure the value of human capital initiatives. The book emphasizes the importance of applying analytical rigor to HR strategies, helping organizations shift from intuition-based decisions to evidence-based practices. Through real-world case studies and clear financial models, it demonstrates how HR activities—such as employee engagement, training, retention, and staffing—can be evaluated in terms of return on investment. By bridging the gap between HR and finance, the book empowers decision-makers to align people-related strategies with overall business goals. It is particularly valuable for those seeking to communicate the impact of HR initiatives to stakeholders using quantifiable metrics and to create a culture of accountability in human capital investments.
