We discuss with CIPD’s Research Advisor for Human Capital Metrics and Standards, Edward Houghton, the challenge of measuring and understanding human capital. We are also featuring a fascinating interview with Jamie Lawrence, editor of human resource website hrzone.com. We discuss with Jamie two key concepts effecting employee engagement and employee -employer relationships in today’s workplace; Self- Actualisation and Equity Theory.
We are also looking at a range of other human resource and occupational health stories such as new research that aims to explore the questions ‘what is it that today’s young workers really want?’, the survey that suggests as many as a third of employees are currently finding the strain of work difficult to manage and a new report from Monster arguing that reports 1 in 5 employees are willing to leave their jobs due to workplace rivalries. We also feature a piece looking at one of the must haves for this Summer; travel insurance.
