Most organizations today focus either on creating a fun, exciting company culture or on producing results. What if we told you the real magic happens when you bridge the gap between the two? Understanding your human capital, while operationalizing human resources to create a company culture that thrives is essential to your success.
Human capital is the measure of skills, knowledge, and experience possessed by employees. These attributes are viewed in terms of their value to your organization.
This approach takes a less people-centered view of employees. It focuses on the value they can bring and what that value means for the organization’s bottom-line. This approach also views the future value of employees as an investment the company can make.
As you look to operationalize your company culture, it is important to understand each of these aspects to managing your talent. When your company culture and human resources are operationalized a few things happen for your employees. They feel safer in their workspace, they are more engaged, and they are more excited about work. Employees who are engaged in their work will produce more effectively and efficiently, therefore contributing to greater value for the organization.
Role alignment is at the core of the initiative to bridge the gap between human capital and human resources. Optimizing an employees’ knowledge, skills, and experience to align them in a role that fits their strengths is essential to their success. Role alignment is one of the key factors at the heart of an operationalized human resource strategy. It breeds great company culture and produces results.
As your employees become more aligned in their roles, your investment in them will pay off. All of these things align in order to create a successful workplace culture and company overall.
