WHY ARE PEOPLE SO VALUABLE?
Managers and economists traditionally have seen HRM as a necessary expense, rather than a source of
value to their organizations
S
• Human capital—an organization’s employees, described in terms of their training, experience,
judgment, intelligence, relationships, and insight
TB
• Organizations need resources that provide competitive advantage and human resources have
these qualities: Valuable, rare, cannot be imitated, and have no good substitutes
• Employee engagement refers to the degree to which employees are fully involved in their work
and the strength of their commitment to their job and the organization.

IMPACT OF HRM
HRM contributes to measures of an organization’s success such as quality, profitability, and customer
N
experience. Reference Figure 1.2
KS
Organizations need the kind of resources that will give them such an advantage. Human resources have
these necessary qualities:
• Human resources are valuable.
• Human resources are rare in the sense that a person with high levels of the needed skills and
knowledge is not common.
• Human resources cannot be imitated.
O
• Human resources have no good substitutes.
LU
THE IMPACT OF EMPLOYEE EXPERIENCE
• Perceptions that employees have about their experiences at work in response to their
interactions with the organization
• Providing a positive employee experience is critical for keeping employees engaged and
TI
committed to the organization
• Encompasses all the elements that influence an employee’s perception of the work environment
and becomes an important focus for the employee’s entire journey—from first contact with a
potential employer to retirement (and even beyond)
