Welcome to Organizational Perspectives, a home for cross-disciplinary dialogue about human capital management.
Improving an organization’s performance can be approached from a business, psychology, or education discipline.
A motivated, team-oriented, and creative workforce is a result of professionals from these three disciplines working together. Human resource professionals bring talent into organizations through hiring and promotion, training and performance improvement professionals develop talent to meet organizational needs, and organizational psychologists look at the effects that social and workplace contexts have on individuals and groups.
Organizational Perspectives is hosted by Capella University to enable scholars and practitioners to exchange and discuss ideas in human capital management.

Much of the content on this site is dedicated to the discussion of Human Capital and all that those words encompass. As a HR professional, the discussion of “Human Capital” is common. But, in a discussion with a C-level executive the other day, I realized that there are many business people out there who are not well-versed on Human Capital and what it should mean to them. In further discussion with other professionals, I found out that even those who understand the importance of Human Capital may have a different definition, or their expected outcome of this area of focus may be different.
How do you explain the term “Human Capital”and what it should mean to executives?
Today the political climate is somewhat scary to say the least. The complex issues to be decided in the current US election can be unsettling to our workforce as they wonder about the outcomes and directions for the economy and the country.
