Two books that can increase every company's bottom line
Value of organisational key figures
- A management tool with bottom line effect
This book introduces some completely new calculation principles and methods which make it possible to understand the effect of the so-called "soft" areas on a company’s bottom line and competitiveness.
In an innovative and simple fashion the book connects the soft with the hard in such a way that it is no longer possible to speak of the organisational relations as soft areas. So it is no longer necessary to discuss the need for measuring and putting a figure onto the organisational relations in a company.
The concept of the book makes it possible to make a data based estimate of a company's organisational strengths and weaknesses, to identify the most significant development areas and to estimate the financial effect on the bottom line by developing – or not to develop – these areas.

Measuring the HR function
The books gives managers in and around the HR function suggestions for some concrete tools which make it possible to measure the HR function's influence, productivity and profitability.
Decisions on whether to invest in HR functions are often based on intuition due to the lack of measuring tools. It is very difficult to document the proceeds of the investments in an HR function. For this very reason it often hits hard when the company has to reduce the costs level. This is naturally quite unsatisfactory. Decisions whether to invest or reduce the HR function should be based on the business in the same way as in other areas of the company.
The book aims to show how you can measure the HR function's influence on the operation and progress as well as productivity of the business organisation. Based on these data you can make an estimate of the HR function profitability.
