HC calculation at the push of a button(3)

A training version of the Saarbrücken Formula software is used at the University of Siegen and in the MBA program of the University of Saarbrücken among others. This should be generally available by the summer of 2006 and should firmly anchor the Saarbrücken Formula in academic teaching. This simplified training system enables students to determine the human-capital value of companies for training purposes using information that is accessible externally, such as HR or business reports.

The network that has grown up around the Saarbrücken Formula enables various groups to contribute to the standardization process. Discussions on how to calculate the value of human capital will only assume a more objective form once as many companies as possible are deploying soundly based tools such as the Saarbrücken Formula, since this will provide results that are capable of comparison.
