The link between HR and profit is proven

A study based on results from nearly 1000 companies showed higher performance work practices had a significant positive impact on corporate financial performance. The study went on to note that recruiting methods, incentive plans, performance management systems and employee training programs can "improve the knowledge, skills and abilities… of employees, increase their motivation, reduce shirking and enhance retention…"
