'The Human Resources Scorecard: measuring the return on investment' is the first book to provide a comprehensive, step-by-step process for measuring return on investment in human resources programs. Based on the classic ROI definition of earnings divided by investment, the ROI Process developed 20 years ago by co-author Jack J Phillips aids managers in determining and improving the bottom-line impact that human resource programs have on an organization. The ROI Process provides six additional measures in the form of a scorecard to track and monitor the total impact of the human resource programs.

'The Human Resources Scorecard' is essential for human resource executives, professionals, CEOs, CFOs, consultants, professors and other managers concerned with their businesses' bottom lines.
