Human Capital Management
(HCM)
The WCAS Perspective on human capital management
Talent is the cornerstone of organizational success, and Human Capital Management (HCM) software is the solution companies turn to in order to meet the evolving needs of their top-performing professionals. This sector, spanning from payroll to comprehensive employee lifecycle management, must evolve with the growing expectations of top professionals. With a global HCM market exceeding $25 billion and an annual growth rate of over 9%, there’s a clear race to attract, nurture and retain premier talent. Our investment focus remains on cutting-edge HCM tools that foster innovation and streamline human capital management. As labor dynamics, employee preferences and economic landscapes shift, equipping organizations with agile, top-tier solutions becomes paramount.1
“I get a group of people who are talented to commit to excellence and to work together as one. That’s where it starts. Different talents, same commitment.”
- Mike Krzyzewski (Coach K.)
HCM trends we're excited to invest behind
We look forward to partnering with and fueling growth alongside HCM thought leaders to further the recruitment, training and management of every organization’s greatest resource.
