Maximising “Human Capital”

Maximising “Human Capital” Drives Businesses Forward

SA international human resources expert Christine Edwards will conduct a workshop for Asian business executives in Singapore on 4 May to coach them in making the most of “human capital”.

Managing Director of Christine Edwards Enterprises Pty Ltd, Director of Development on the Board of the International Coach Federation Australasia and Fellow Associate of the Australian Institute of Management, she’s been invited to conduct the workshop by the Singapore Human Resources Institute (SHRI).

This follows her attendance at the 11^th World HR Congress held in Singapore last year, and since then she’s been a guest speaker there for the SHRI.

Ms Edwards said today she welcomed the opportunity to help persuade influential business people at the post-Congress gathering, of the measurable bottom-line value of in-house corporate morality.

She said this would be demonstrated in practical exercises as part of her workshop in which participants would learn how to develop a series of five strategies for accommodating the economic imperative of resurrecting virtues long lost in graceless corporate cultures.

“Company executives have realsied -- following massive corporate collapses of the past decade -- that unless their businesses are seen from the outside to be run ethically, they’ll lose investors, but they’re being slow to accept that a culture of in-house morality will actually increase a company’s growth and profitability.”

There was of course a wealth of information available to business leaders instructing them how to make the most of financial capital, but far too little was available to persuade them that cultivation of virtue in human capital was the ultimate driver of a business’s growth.

“And of course acceptance by business leaders that moral incompetence in companies is no more acceptable that financial incompetence will generate a spin off greatly beneficial to society as a whole," Ms Edwards said.
