What the Fortune 100 Tells Wall Street About Human Capital


"(CSRwire) February 22, 2007- An important part of CSR is reporting on human capital. A thorough study of what Fortune 100 companies report on human capital has been released by Creelman Research and The RBL Group. The study shows GE and IBM are doing the best job of reporting on human capital intangibles.

When you look at GE and IBM from a human capital perspective you come away valuing the companies more highly than you would if you only looked at the financials,” said David Creelman, CEO of Creelman Research.

Intel, UPS, and Wells Fargo were also in the top 5 in reporting on human capital.

Dave Ulrich, co-author of The HR Value Proposition warns these are still early days, delighted to see these top companies taking human capital and organizational capability seriously, but they still have a way to go and most of the Fortune 100 are far behind.

While GE, IBM, Intel, UPS, and Wells Fargo clearly report a strong position in human capital management, there were 29 Fortune 100 companies whose reporting on HR was so poor that it left a bad impression. a company doesn't show any evidence of good human capital practices or outcomes then stakeholders assume that they're not investing for future results and begin to lose confidence said Creelman."
