Summary of The Workforce Scorecard (Mark Huselid, Brian Becker and Richard Beatty)
Book Abstract
Corporate success today is fueled more and more by the performance of intangible assets. The most important of these intangibles is usually a firm’s workforce. Many times, the workforce is a businesses’ largest underperforming asset and the area where the greatest gains in competitive performance can be generated.
To maximize the contribution of its workforce, a firm must meet three challenges:
The Perspective Challenge – To view the workforce in terms of potential contribution rather than as a cost to be minimized.The Metrics Challenge – To replace conventional benchmarking metrics with measures that will differentiate improvement.The Execution Challenge – To hold both line managers and HR staff jointly responsible for workforce quality and performance.In practical terms, this means companies don’t just need one strategy but actually require three strategies and three corresponding scorecards to measure the success of each of those strategies:
“Of all the factors affecting firm performance that CEOs and senior managers can directly influence, workforce success – or the extent to which a firm can generate a workforce with the culture, mind-set, competencies, and strategic behaviors needed to execute its strategy-is both the most important and most underperforming asset in most businesses. In an economic environment marked by hyper competition, anything less than optimal workforce success is a direct threat to the very survival of the firm.”
– Mark Huselid, Brian Becker and Richard Beatty
