Evaluating Human Capital Projects

Evaluating Human Capital Projects is a practical guide to planning, evaluating and improving all types of human capital projects.  Its central theme is that organisations do not always value 'softer' investment in people as highly as other types of investment.  This is reflected in planning and evaluation practices, which are rarely planned with clarity or assessed rigorously for impact.  The authors provide a step-by-step guide to applying Jack Phillip's Return on Investment in modern business contexts.
