Through our partnership with Directions, Inc., we offer services which benefit corporate executivesresponsible for the productive use of key resources. These include senior human resource and finance staff executives and senior line executives charged with profit and loss responsibility.

We help companies achieve higher returns through the focused management of Human Earning Power (HEP).

HEP is defined as the ability of an individual employee or group(s) of employees to generate sales and earnings for the business. The management of HEP is an integrated system that fully links business performance and human resource performance. It includes a reporting process through which executives can plan, organize, direct and control the investment in employee productivity.

Every company allocates a significant amount of capital to people. Ask yourself these questions:
  • Is the capital you have invested properly allocated to the drivers of HEP? Not all human resource expenditures impact HEP.
  • Do you have a strategic system in place to plan, organize, direct and control the use of your human resource dollar? A system facilitates management control.
  • Are you realizing the best possible sales and earnings returns on your human resource dollar? Improper allocation and/or inadequate control diminish performance and lower returns.
    If the answer to any of these questions is unclear, you should contact Directions, Inc. We can add value to your business.

The benefits of sound HEP management include:

  • Lower total human resource costs
  • Efficient distribution of the human resource dollar between current HEP and long-term HEP needs
  • Higher sales and earnings returns on your human resource dollar
  • Economically focused human resource strategies
  • Improved human resource planning nd decision-making
  • Improved communications on human resource issues and needs
