Key trends in human capital - A global perspective 2006

March 2006
Increasingly, our clients are using selected measures not only to provide insights into bottom line performance and basic people behaviours, but also to gain a measurable appreciation of critical organisational forces such as motivation, commitment, innovation, talent management and leadership.

This report provides a powerful combination of information on both existing organisational human capital profiles, and those required in future to produce and maintain a sustainable human capital advantage in the marketplace.

This work is based on data collected from more than 15,000 organisations across Europe and the US, representing industry sectors including banking, financial services, manufacturing, telecommunications, chemicals, IT, utilities and retail.

Key areas covered include:

• The new competitive landscape created by emerging economies
  
• The implications of increased outsourcing and offshoring
  
• Addressing the drivers of productivity with effective human capital policies
  
• The factors influencing workforce engagement and commitment
