Human capital


Employees are crucial components for an organization’s growth. They are like the nuts and bolts. Just as they are used to tighten two separate parts so as to facilitate un-interrupted functioning of a machine or any other thing, the employees are the major components to facilitate achievement of goals. Therefore, the need to enhance employees’ productivity is one of the major priorities of the organization. No matter how talented and skilled the employees are, they are to be provided job-specific training on a regular basis keeping in view the demand of their jobs. An employee could be skilled at a particular job and talented to deliver results. But, in the process of performing duties at higher levels, their talent and skill may not aid them to perform duties as satisfactorily and skillfully as before. Employees are human capital and their talent is accordingly tapped. Job-specific training apart, the organization should ensure for their satisfaction that they might derive from what they do by virtue of their talent and skill.

Sophisticated machines are there, money and material are there, if the human capital (read: human resource) is not taken care of, the talk of achieving goals could be a distant talk. Therefore, proper training to drive organization ahead should be provided continuously and care for employees should be on priority list, irrespective of level, performance and achievement.
