An organization runs successfully due to the collaborative work of the management team that performs diverse functions such as workforce planning, hiring, training, account management, and various other aspects. It is quite difficult for a single team to overlook all aspects pertaining to human capital management. It needs various departments to manage the cycle of hiring and maintaining the workforce, manage the organization, manage compensations, leave record and employee benefits. Workforce planning constitutes a small part of the whole organisations management that is necessary for tasting success. Human capital management needs different teams to work in unison for a common aim. Human resource management and human capital management are concerned with similar aspects, while capital management is more account oriented, resource management takes employees into consideration.

Human capital management can be considered as a subset of financial management for an organization, which is quite complex. When one is managing capital for human workforce, there are various aspects to be considered including planning headcount for staff capacity, taking into consideration the project size, budget and other important factors. All this comes under workforce planning. The next stage in this cycle is to track finance spent on the hiring process, and to keep a check that overshoot to framed resources, is not over the planned budget. This is done, to ensure the resources allocated for human capital management is utilized properly. Finance spent on workforce maintenance is another important factor and influences the success of an organization. Department of workforce planning is expected to report the expected financial costs for hiring and maintaining new staff, during the planning stage itself.

It is the responsibility of human resources department to keep a track on transfers, expired contracts and leave record of employees. An automation tool for workforce planning is ideal and ensures proper records for every aspect. This also makes tracking and rewarding easier. Full-fledged software will let the organization scale, map and track finances spent for human capital management. When details about attendance, performance and other related aspects about an employee are tracked, project management becomes an easy job. Be it deployment of resources to a certain project, or reallocation of resources to other important and pressing projects, using a single solution for this aspect makes things easier.

Human capital management is better done with an automation tool in place and reduces the time and cost of management. It might be cumbersome and time consuming to manually update related information on an employee and track when needed. This is an important aspect of workforce planning, though can be tiring when done manually. Software makes planning, execution and tracking of workforce related aspects easier. Every organization will have a different architecture and the solution that can be applicable for every organization, is best. The tools chosen should have restrictions with the number of employees and also, be flexible enough to adapt to changes done during expansion. With increasingly more automation tools taking the center stage, it is not difficult to find the one that suits the business in question. Human Capital Management is all the more effective and organized, when done this way.

Office of Federal Contracts and Compliance Programs’ (OFCCP) Notice of Proposed Rule Making (NPRM) on a Compensation Data Collection Tool is expected to have a substantial impact on the compliance efforts of federal contractors. In Berkshire Associates’ latest white paper, ‘Compensation Data Collection Tool Update,’ examines the potential changes and consequences of this new rule.

“According to Department of Labor’s (DOL) spring 2011 agenda, the NPRM is scheduled in June 2012,” says one of the authors, Suzanne Keys, SPHR. “With this in mind, now is the time contractors should begin thinking about how changes could affect their procedures and policies in order to prepare for a new data collection tool. Making sure compensation policies, procedures, and decisions are documented and easily accessible could be helpful regardless of what tool is adopted in the future.”
