In this excerpt from his recently published book, 'The Human Equation: Building Profits by Putting People First,' the author argues that many managers continue to overlook the extent to which the more effective management of people can improve firm economic performance. Firms that seek to produce enhanced economic performance through the management their human capital have adopted a number of common personnel practices. These include the provision of employment security, the selective hiring of new personnel, decentralized decision making, high compensation contingent on organizational performance, extensive training, minimal status distinctions and barriers, and the extensive sharing of financial and performance information throughout the firm.

Organizational demography: implications for management

Article Abstract:

The demographic distribution of employees within a corporation has significant effects on the company's ability to survive, to innovate and to retain good people, all of which are important issues. When the bulk of employees are located at the extreme ends of age brackets and length of service times, leaving the middle empty, the firm's continuity is adversely affected. Organizational demography can be a useful tool for management by assessing the company as a whole on the level of employee interaction, rather than dealing with the individual personnel issues. Demographic data are easy to obtain and can help managers understand and cope with employee relations and productivity problems.
