There is growing evidence that at the heart of successful companies is the building and leveraging of human capital. Yet the way in which we view corporate success remains resolutely bound with notions of financial capital. The debate about the measurement and reporting of human capital is one of the most important challenges facing managers. With this thoughtful book Andrew Mayo brings both insight and analysis to aid this debate. |

A most impressive overview of human value metrics, with very practical references and models, such as the Human Capital Monitor and the Human Asset Register, which focus on clarifying people as sustainable value creators, not costs. |

Never has it been more necessary to understand the CEO's perennial battle cry "people are our greatest assets". Andrew Mayo does more than simply understand it; he explains it to us in a fresh and exciting way - drawing on the literature of general management, human resources, and accounting. A book to challenge all your assumptions. |

The Human Value of the Enterprise masterfully synthesizes theory, research, and practices on measuring human capital. It shows how to measure, track, and invest in human capital in ways that ensure business value. It turns abstract beliefs in the value of people into concrete measures which will enable business leaders to make informed human capital choices and which will assure that HR professionals act with data not just intuition. The 'Human Capital Monitor' architecture encompasses research to date and offers a pragmatic way to assess people performance in a firm. I learned a lot from reading the book and will refer to it fre-quently as a disciplined roadmap for deriving human capital value. |

Few people are better qualified to write on this topical and important topic than Andrew Mayo. His contribution to our understanding of the relationship between human capital and sustainable business success will be invaluable to all those who are looking for rigorous argument and evidence to back their efforts to get Human Resource issues to the top of the Board agenda. |
