In order to be competitive in the global marketplace, corporate mission statements such as "People are our greatest asset" must be more than slogans. Absent from the balance sheets of companies worldwide, intangible assets, such as human capital, are the essence of value for all knowledge-based companies. Valuing People: How Human Capital Can Be Your Strongest Asset provides provocative insight into how accentuating the value of people ultimately increases a company's net worth.

Business consultant, professional speaker, and author Lisa M. Aldisent presents strategies and practical suggestions for increasing the value of human capital and articulates how valuing human and intellectual capital can offer financial benefits as well as increase productivity. Valuing People is especially useful for entrepreneurs, CEOs, CFOs, executives, managers, and human resource professionals who are looking for ways to increase performance and measure the value of human capital.

Each chapter of Valuing People centers on a key trend that impacts the value of human capital, and how that translates to a company's bottom line. Examples and anecdotes are drawn from interviews with professionals, from a variety of industries, who are practicing innovation and leadership, as well as from examples of business success stories.
