The future lies in HR focusing on strategic people management activities rather than administrative deliverables and most organizations have started to use some measures of human capital- headcount, turnover, and productivity - or make some assessment of the value produced. However, there are certain principles you need to consider to maximize the benefit you receive from using Human Capital Alignment (HCA). 1. Quantify the deliverables The power of measurement is not the metrics or data you collect. Rather, the benefit comes from your ability to use the information to diagnose your organizational situation and make better decisions to move the business towards its strategic goals. Organizations should review current metrics available through technology in the light of their use for decision-making 2. Guide people decisions HCA is not about proving the value people add to the business; good leaders already have this fundamental philosophy. It is about guiding investment decisions and understanding the benefits and trade-offs in people decisions 3. HCM is an integrated HR Tool HCA ranges from basic metrics to comparative information, from scorecards to predictive models. To succeed with HCA, organizations need to select the HCA approach that aligns with their context and needs. This need could be developing or identifying key metrics, setting performance levels or measuring the ROI of HR practices 4. Focus on people value and not the cost Many organizations understand their people costs quite well. However, not all of them consider how people help the organization achieve its goals. Consider the person who works late to check the accuracy of a customer order or the person that comes up with efficiency improvement ideas. Both of them add value well beyond their costs. HCA helps you to understand the value 5. HCM brings business acumen in HR HR is often viewed as the softer side of the business. It often struggles to demonstrate its value. As HCM takes root in an organization, "soft" measures become performance focused and demonstrate value creation; this buys HR credibility with the line and a place at the decision-makers table 6. Higher ROI through employee engagement A variety of tools are available to help your organization focus on growing and maintaining performance through your employees. It is well established that motivated or engaged employees contribute more to a company's bottom line. HCA's engagement approach not only helps you motivate employees, but also helps you maintain and grow the performance of high performing employees

7. HCA helps you to understand the returns on people By using predictive models to help you understand how much and where to invest your people dollars, you can understand the return on each investment, whether it is recruiting or training new employees, motivating or increasing skills among existing employees or implementing new procedures and processes 8. Analyze your requirements and adapt to meet the needs Your organization will have different HCA needs as you modify your goals and strategies to compete in the marketplace. This will include modifying your strategies to attract, set expectations, retain, motivate and maximize performance of your employees. It will also include optimizing utilization of limited HR resources 9. HCM provides the competitive advantage in terms of HR cost, quality and delivery Organizations are expanding their use of HCA. Some are using sophisticated tools to identify and implement people programs that impact business results directly and dramatically. These organizations produce significant return on investment and revenue growth. The longer you wait to implement HCA, the more ground you need to make up. Therefore, there is a need to consolidate HR management system to a single global instance to leverage IT efficiencies and gain visibility and control over the human capital. Strategic HCA processes including performance management system, training management, will see more aggressive adoption and would be linked to business plan. Now that core administrative and self service applications are in better shape, the biggest movement will be in aligning individual performance and rewards with the achievement of specific corporate and operating unit performance objective. Organizations with sophisticated requirements for strategic processes such as performance management and training management can usually find more robust functionality from specialized HR vendor.
