Why focus on human capital management in Ohio Education?
Employees are your single greatest asset. Schools and districts that prioritize finding the right people, growing and supporting them, rewarding excellence, and continuously improving are better equipped to meet the needs of the organization, employees, and students.
An effective human capital management system (HCMS) helps schools and districts:
Ensure students are served by quality educators and staff that are engaged, supported, and actively growing in their profession.
Create a better learning environment for students by reducing shortages, increasing retention, and building supportive partnerships.
Build a diverse cadre of educators, staff, and building leaders to support students and address equity gaps.
Increase efficiencies by reducing issues related to staff discipline and absenteeism, legal fees, and grievances.
WHO are human capital leaders?
Human capital leaders in school systems can be found across the organization, in departments other than human resources. They may include any of these individuals who can benefit from the Human Capital Resource Center:
District and building leaders
Teacher leaders, instructional coaches, and mentors
Public, private, and charter school executives and department directors
Other education organization employees (at Educational Service Centers and other regional supports)
Educator preparation faculty at colleges and universities
Anyone else who has a stake in improving the human capital of school systems
Making smart human capital decisions in school systems requires a broad-based team effort. The responsibility extends beyond the traditional human resource group. It requires meaningful partnerships across Ohio and within local districts and schools.
