In today's highly competitive global economy, companies are placing more emphasis on developing the potential of their people than ever before. In full appreciation of the financial impact of this effort has come the term Human Capital Management. The emphasis on Human Capital Management builds upon the inherent understanding that keeping employees (human capital) happy and working at their full potential enhances the company's performance and bottom-line results. It is sound business practice to nurture these human assets and understand when and why they are unhappy—not working at potential or at risk of leaving. In this panel, we will explore this issue with experts who bring years of experience along with diverse perspectives to this important topic.
