Welcome to the
Human Capital Investment & Reporting Council
Linking Investments in Human Capital to Business Performance, Risk, and Sustainability
The Human Capital Investment and Reporting Council (HC IRC) is a working group of senior executives from HR, Finance, and the Investment community who have strategic interest in human capital investment, measurement, and reporting next practices. Current participating organizations include:
Allianz, Uber, RedHat, SAP, Deutsche Bank, Standard Bank, Tech Data, Public Storage,
Aerospace Corp., MetLife, Blackrock, Tegna, T-Rowe Price, Tysons, So Cal Edison, General Mills,

Through research, tools, expert speakers, and curated peer discussion, the HC IRC explores and solves for critical issues related to the complex topics of human capital investment, value creation, risk management, disclosure, and corporate sustainability.
“It’s not enough to simply measure the things that would have defined a company’s success in the 20th Century.... without a standardized methodology and verifiable metrics, companies will continue to struggle to effectively articulate how they are creating long-term value for investors and other key stakeholders.”
- Coalition for Inclusive Capitalism representing more than 30 companies and $30 trillion of assets under management.
TALENT IN THE AGE OF TRANSPARENCY
In a business world of increasing volatility and risk, corporate investors, executives and stakeholders are calling for better, more transparent information on human capital investments.
Organizations need to prepare NOW for enhanced strategic human capital reporting and decision-making using people data and evidence-based insights.
FUTURE PROOF YOUR BUSINESS
Preparing for the future is a high-stakes game. A key issue facing global companies is how to allocate and optimize talent investments to create sustainable value and measurable performance that lasts.
The HC IRC mission is to develop better answers to strategic workforce investment and value creation questions. We work to connect decisions about human capital investment to business outcomes and develop shared tools, methods, and other solutions to improve business results.
