Question no. 1 (Marks=5)

Why do senior managers often fail to realize the value of human assets vis-à-vis other
assets?
Human assets refer to the value of an employee in an organization based on his or her
knowledge and skills. Although human capital is the most valuable asset an organization can
have. senior executives often fail to recognize that number. This is described below.
Number one is because of the basic management values used by senior management when
making employee decisions. The way employees are treated reflects these values.
second, consideration of risk and return on investment. this is because investing in human
resources is also risky and has certain benefits that come with it.
third, the difference in the economic value of investment and training. senior executives view
the reason for training employees as the benefits of investing in other assets instead.
Lastly, some managers may consider hiring employees from other companies and increasing
investment in other assets.
