"Companies that can unleash the passions and gifts of their people will have a competitive advantage in the landscape of the future--becoming curators instead of keepers of talent. This book gives readers some of the keys to cracking that code."

--CARLEEN HAAS, VICE PRESIDENT AND CHIEF TALENT OFFICER, HUMANA

At every stage of the employee life cycle, a data-driven approach to HR can help companies make smarter decisions about their most important asset: their people.

The findings are enlightening--and quite surprising.
