Argues that current management and human resource practices hinder employees' ability to contribute to strategic goals. To maximise the power of their workforce, organisations must meet new and different challenges.

Since the revolutionary Balanced Scorecard method (BSC; 1996; over 288,000 std) was introduced in 1996, the ability to manage and measure intangible assets has helped hundreds of organizations to improve overall performance and profits. Mark Huselid and Brian Becker built on that model in 2001, when they introduced the HR Scorecard - a book that enabled HR professionals to measure the impact of their activities on bottom line results. That book became a bestseller, with nearly 67,000 copies sold to date. Now, these authors take the Balanced Scorecard model to the next level of performance management with The Workforce Scorecard . Based on extensive research, this book provides a management and measurement system - and a Workforce Scorecard tool - that identifies the drivers of workforce success and makes line managers and HR professionals jointly responsible for managing these drivers for improved strategic performance.
