Humankapital

October 28, 2009 By 1 Comment

Humankapital is a term that is often used in Business Administration.  It refers to the value of employees in a company.

There are different ways of using it and thus calculating that value.  One way means the amount that an employee costs, eg. their salary, telephone, computer, insurance.

Used positively, it can refer to the value that an employee has because of their knowledge and motivation.

Many German tourists will have visited the island of Lanzarote this summer. During our own holiday we recorded a short series of podcasts with British ex-pats who live there.

We met up with Mike Cliffe-Jones, at the Puerto del Carmen offices of his company ¡Estupendo! We talked to him about his book „Living in Lanzarote“, about moving to the island and the services that his company offers. We also talked about his connections with Germany and touched on a few of his favourite things…
