Humanizing Human Capital
The work world is changing faster than ever before. Adapting to this new reality without a significant interruption in results is increasingly a top priority for all businesses.
The key to thriving through disruption is understanding and practicing human capital strategies that will drive enterprise performance and value-creation.
In Humanizing Human Capital, renowned business thought leaders Solange Charas, PhD, and Stela Lupushor reframe traditional HR practices into a future-forward strategy to optimize human capital. Charas and Lupushor shift decision-making about people from a gut sense to an evidence-based approach—a critical and much-needed departure from the cross-your-fingers-and-hope-for-the-best approach of most traditional HR programs today.
Learn how to quantify and manage human capital in order to future-proof your financial returns. Humanizing Human Capital reveals a step-by-step method to apply analytics approaches to human capital while anticipating inevitable changes in the workforce landscape. This will enable human capital professionals to generate positive outcomes for all stakeholders and allow management to make decisions that work for the entire enterprise.
Through the authors’ dozens of case studies, real-world situations, and twenty invaluable business principles, you will learn to:
• Adopt a best-evidence versus best-practice approach to decision-making
• Shift your thinking so that you view human capital as a crucial investment rather than as a sunk cost
• Balance human capital analytics with the more human-centric elements of people management
• Increase value for all key stakeholders, including investors, management, workers, customers, partners, and the community at large
• Utilize methods to measure and optimize human capital efficiency, increasing your ROI
The road ahead may seem unpredictable and even treacherous, but Humanizing Human Capital provides leaders of any organization a new framework to create resilient, responsive, and innovative organizations with tangible and sustainable business results.

Why (Not) to read this book (Audience)
This book provides inspiration on how to play the infinity game, for a long-lasting company.
How this book changed my views (Takeaways)
1. Hire for a career, not for a job, with a long-term vision and not just the current need.
2. Treat everyone as a prospect and treat prospects as customers.
3. Think off a company like a town, not like islands.
4. Automate the boring and Humanize the fun.
5. You cannot force learning; people must be hungry.
6. Managers must be made responsible for the development of team members. Avoid friction in learning approvals or blocked access.
7. Exit strategy. Leaving on a high note, turn leavers into lifelong friends, keep recognizing their contribution, their contribution and value did not change when they left.

When people leave the organization, treat them with respect and dignity. Honor their contributions and leave the door open for their return.
Help satisfy workers' needs for belonging, safety, purpose and dignity.
Servant leadership -- bosses exist not to exert control and issue commands, but to support, inspire, coach and develop workers.
