Why is human capital management important in organizations ?
Who do you think are the most valuable resource in an organization ?
Employees. Individuals who spend maximum part of their day contributing towards the success of an organization are its most crucial resource. Employees can either make or break an organization, truly making them an organization’s lifeline.
Human Capital Management is essential for hiring, managing, training and retaining talented and high performing employees.
Human Capital management plays an important role in the recruitment process. It ensures that human resource professionals hire individuals who really deserve to be in the organization. Recruiting the right talent is of utmost importance. An individual who is not fit for a particular role will not be able to contribute much in the long run.

Do not hire someone just because you need to fill a vacant position or your superiors have asked you to do so. Analyze the background of an individual thoroughly. Try to find out why someone really wants to join your organization? Remember money should not be the only criterion why someone wants to change and join a new organization. An individual who has been assigned the role of acquiring new talents should not forget to check an applicant’s past experience, interests, professional qualification and reasons for changing previous job. If you really like someone, try to do some reference check as well. Do discuss with the applicant before calling up his previous organization or boss, else it might land him/her in trouble.

Boring and meaningless induction programs lead to confusions and an employee eventually loses interest in the organization. Do not load someone with unnecessary information, the very first day he steps into the organization. Believe me, he will run away. Make him feel comfortable. Ask him/her not to bring lunch from home. Order lunch from outside and ask all his team members to have lunch together. Such small initiatives go a long way in breaking ice among team members.
It is essential for employees to upgrade their knowledge with time to cope up with the changing situations. Human Capital Management helps in training the employees and making them indispensable resource for the organization. Motivate employees to take up special courses or online programs which would help them in their job. Employees who do not brush up on their skills from time to time find it difficult to survive in the long run. Inculcate the habit of reading. Internet is also one of the good options to keep oneself abreast with the latest developments.
Human Capital management plays an important role in increasing the efficiency of employees. Individuals are in a position to contribute more towards the system, eventually increasing the overall productivity of the organization.
