Impact on bottom-line
"Employee-involvement practices show a significant bottom-line return. In 1999, companies that were big users of employee-involvement practices such as information sharing, skills training, rewards programs, and empowerment efforts boasted a 66 percent higher return on sales, a 20 percent higher return on assets, a 20 percent higher return on investment, and a 13 percent higher return on equity."

"This study clearly suggests that the kinds of practices that HR develops and supports have an impact on the bottom line," Lawler says. "While HR doesn't directly produce revenue -- it doesn't go out and find new business or open new markets -- HR certainly improves the effectiveness of the organization, which allows the company to find new business or open new markets."
