Human capital management (HCM) is
an approach to employee staffing that perceives people as assets (human
capital) whose current value can be measured and whose future value can be
enhanced through investment.
An organization that supports HCM
provides employees with clearly defined and consistently communicated
performance expectations. Managers are responsible for rating, rewarding, and
holding employees accountable for achieving specific business goals, creating
innovation and supporting continuous improvement. HCM software streamlines and
automates many day-to-day record-keeping processes and provides a framework for
HR staff to manage benefits administration, payroll and create map out succession
planning.
There are many excellent
solutions that don’t attempt to do everything, but focus on specific
functionality – such as recruitment, HR administration, or performance
management. The Human Capital Management market is crowded, with many different
vendors.
