NAOMI STANFORD of SiloSmashers asks whether HR systems work for human capital reporting.

Capital gains

Naomi Stanford: do current HR systems provide adequate functionality?

Human capital management (HCM) is fundamentally different to human resource management (HRM) – as Table 1, below, illustrates. It follows then that an IT system designed for HR management will not fit the bill for HCM. This poses a challenge for many business managers given the requirement, from April 2005, for every publicly listed company in the UK to report on human capital in their Operating and Financial Review (OFR).

Business managers will be trying to extract relevant reporting information from a large-scale HR IT system and not from specific consumer-oriented software designed for human capital reporting. This means they may have difficulties accessing information needed to report on aspects of human capital efficiency, value-add, profitability and innovation – as large-scale HR IT systems are typically developed on assumptions of architectural compatibility, operational performance and current work processes.
