Abstract

The appreciation of HR development and training activities is always brought into question in the name of cost optimisation. Business consultants, who parachute into a company with their arsenal of benchmarking programmes and process analyses, often have the HR area immediately within their sights. They often encounter all too common prejudices against HR development among their top executive clients. If they can show that years of investing in HR development and the performance of employees have produced little hard evidence of real progress, a painful cut-back of HR development and training is immanent. The much-hyped investments into our most important asset, our people, are then soon relegated to a little pot of cash for vocational training.
