People Economics: Defining and Measuring the True Value of Human Capital

Laura has accomplished an amazing feat by introducing the worlds of economics and human resources to each other, in an accessible and engaging manner, that is constantly interesting without being patronising. It is clearly aimed at members of the C-suite and is equally very useful to Masters students from many different disciplines. This book is: comprehensive - it covers the broad sweep of human capital standards challenging - it provokes the reader to reconsider long-held paradigms relevant - it includes the current debates about the future of work in the light of the COVID pandemic grounded - it provides a range of organisational case-studies and interviews with senior practitioners supported - it contains considerable current research helpful - it offers a huge array of metrics for the benefit of the busy HR director wanting to shift towards evidence-based HR transformation In short, this book is ….. the one I wish I had written!
