Although salary and benefits often account for over 30 percent of company spending, the return on this expenditure is rarely measured. This is why many companies fail to capitalize fully on their human capital. ""Play to Your Strengths"" alerts us to this lack of discipline. The authors recommend applying a scientific approach to human capital strategy. The methods they suggest are designed to model the impact of people decisions, thereby forming a solid foundation for the company's choices in this arena.
