The Workforce Scorecard: Managing Human Capital to Execute Strategy
By Mark A. Huselid, Brian E. Becker and Richard W. Beatty
Harvard Business School Press, February 2005
288 pages, $29.95

Building off The HR Scorecard, which was co-authored by Becker and Huselid, they set out to change this by introducing a series of metrics that identify what an employee needs to do to help the company deliver on its mission. Not surprisingly, the authors argue that employees should be viewed in terms of their contribution, not how much they cost.
