[Ailist] People and the Bottom Line

[Michael Holdstock]

There's an interesting report that relates OD input to ROI at:

http://www.investorsinpeople.co.uk/Documents/Final%20full%20report%20inc%20appendices.pdf

and how to test this.

The key words seem to be consistency throughout the organisation and "integrated range of practices".

This could be very good for AI!

"Conclusion

Overall, the findings from this project demonstrate that organisations that adopt an integrated range of HR practices, are likely to perform better on key indicators like profit and sales growth. The research has also demonstrated that employers of all types and sizes could benefit from this strategic investment in people.

Whilst this research was not intended to demonstrate causality, it has laid the ground for future work that could do so by providing a tested set of measures that were both acceptable to employers and shown to relate to performance".
