	HR Affects Your Bottom Line Statistical analysis by Watson Wyatt Worldwide, which developed the Human Capital Index to provide a standard for measuring a company's people practices, shows a clear relationship between the effectiveness of a company's people practices and the creation of superior market value. Focusing on people does pay off. Strong human resources practices have the potential to increase your company's productivity and profitability, but HR management has become a colossal task, demanding considerable resources. Legal and regulatory compliance has become an overwhelming task, and time spent on administrative obligations is time spent away from growing your business.
