What does “human capital” mean? In simple terms, human capital encompasses the skills, knowledge, and experience that individuals bring to an organization, valued for their contribution. It’s a comprehensive blend of tangible and intangible human qualities, competencies, and know-how that employees offer. These attributes can be harnessed and directed to generate tangible economic benefits for a business, whether in the form of revenue, profits, a healthy balance sheet, or building positive reputation and relationships.

How does “human capital” differ from “human resources”? Traditionally, the term “human resources” has been about the tasks employees perform, with the job defining the individual’s role. In contrast, the human capital perspective shifts the focus from the job to the skills and training individuals bring. It looks at the long-term investment in these abilities, acknowledging that the returns generated over time contribute to defining the overall success of the business. Here, the individual’s efforts become a crucial factor in shaping the collective success of the work environment.

Wondering if engaging an HR consultant is necessary for your business? If you’re a business owner or executive, it’s worth considering why DP Human Capital Management LLC’s services might be beneficial for your company. Ask yourself:

• Is your concept of human resources limited to paying employees and maintaining health insurance coverage?
• Is HR currently handled by roles like Office Manager, Executive Assistant, or Controller/CFO, adding to their already full plate?
• Do you sense a need to enhance your company’s HR capabilities but are unsure about the specifics, how to implement changes, or what the associated costs might be?
• Is your employee handbook, assuming you have one, up-to-date with policies reflecting the latest changes in California labor and employment laws?
• Is your Worker’s Comp Xmod factor consistently increasing year over year?
• Has your payroll department reported a rising California UI rate annually?

Finally, reflect on whether you’ve had to invest significant time, mental energy, and operational funds in defending against wage-and-hour, discrimination, harassment, or other potentially questionable claims.

Engaging an HR consultant can provide strategic solutions to these challenges, allowing you to focus on the core aspects of your business. DP Human Capital Management LLC can help business owners and executives reduce “hidden” operating expenses which take away from the bottom line and avoid costly legal exposures due to insufficient or non-existent HR practices.
