THE INTELLECTUAL RIGOUR BEHIND IT...

VB-HR™ Rating is the complementary product to VaLUENTiS' VB-HR™ System that helps HR functions to measure and value human capital management performance.

The intellectual rigour behind the VB-HR™ Rating has involved over ten years' research together with collated data/experience from over 200 client projects. We have researched over 1500 seminal journal papers and reports stretching back over 40 years, covering topics such as high performance work systems; employee engagement; organisational behaviour; leadership; value based management; performance measurement; financial economics; HR function effectiveness; and outsourcing, to name but a few.

We have formed the view that attempts to identify or clarify the role of human capital and human capital management (HCM) within organisations have had varied success and, as a result, previous attempts to measure human capital and HCM have gained limited acceptance due to a number of shortcomings.

We believe that these failures stem from a number of factors, which the VB-HR™ Rating explicity addresses by:

 

• providing a model that differentiates human capital management of the organisation from the HR function and acknowledging that these are not necessarily the same

• in view of this, recognising that an organisation's line management is as responsible for human capital management as the HR function itself

• acknowledging the number and complexity of the discrete activities performed by the HR function

• grounding assessment on a combination of inputs (HR activities) and outcomes (e.g. absence rates)

• evaluating overall human capital management at a comparative level with the assignment of an overall rating, rather than attempting to place any arbitrary or uncorroborated financial value upon human capital

• providing a suite of HC metrics that have
actionable meaning rather than as a set of disparate numbers
