To remain competitive in China today, companies must face and conquer a multitude 
of complex, people-related business issues, such as:

.	Controlling costs while maximizing the return of  the company¡¯s Human 
Capital investment;
.	Building and keeping the needed internal capabilities to meet ongoing 
business demands or challenges; and
.	Developing a strong, efficient HR infrastructure to strategically align HR 
with Corporate objectives.

The value path has to start with measurement of Human Capital from which 
Organization Development Interventions can then be designed towards Sustainable 
Growth. In this seminar, Patricia Chua and Julie Zhao from PricewaterhouseCoopers 
("PwC") Human Resource Advisory Service will share with you a well-established 
methodology of Human Capital measurement and benchmarking.  Via the establishment 
of strategic Human Capital Metrics, a company can measure the pulse of its 
organization's performance, quantify the Human Capital contribution and Return on 
Investment, and benchmark performance against competitors to identify 
opportunities for improvement.
