10 trends of the social and human capital of 2018

In 2018, there was a stir of the previously established concepts - there are changes: in the work team, in the workplace, in the technologies used in the world of work. Consequently, organizations are not evaluated by traditional metrics, such as financial performance or the quality of their products and / or services. Companies are increasingly valued for their impact on society, for relationships with their employees, customers and suppliers - transforming business enterprises into social enterprises. In a reality that has emerged in a sustained way, social capital has been placed at a level close to financial capital. At the same time, 65% of the CEOs surveyed answered that sustainable and inclusive growth is in the top 3 of the strategic priorities, and the value distributed by the partners is quoted three times less than the aforementioned.
