What organization would ever spend millions of dollars on a particular initiative and not do a return on investment calculation? The fact is that most organizations (perhaps yours!) do it every year with their largest single expenditure – human capital! In a recent study, 84% of executives said that it is important to present a robust financial case for talent investments; and organizations should do more to measure and evaluate financial return on talent investment. But only 35% of those executives feel it is possible to calculate ROI in talent with accuracy! Join us for a truly cutting-edge discussion on what it will take to close this gap, for your organization to manage human capital investments like other investments, and for you to influence and demonstrate leadership with executive decision-makers in your organization.
