More on capital

Glassdoor is a startup that provides online information on companies’ work environments, salary details, reviews, interviews and job listings.

This of another example of how the internet is impacting the corporate environment.

Given that human capital is so important the availability of this type of information to current and potential employees will impact the performance of a corporation by impacting the moving average of the quality of people in a corporation. Hence it will also affect a corporation’s behavior with respect to it’s people.

This  measurement plays to two of the new ‘capitals’ which are used to evaluate the worth of a company – human capital and social & relationship capital.

As startups emerge that measure even further details of each and every corporation I expect even more ‘capital’ types to emerge.

Readily available information and not corporate desire is driving these changes.
