HRA in Practice at Infosys
	
		| 
 
Infosys' HRA model was based on the present value of the employees' future 
earnings with the following assumptions: 
 
• An employee's salary package included all benefits, whether direct or 
otherwise, earned both in India and in a foreign nation. 
• The additional earnings on the basis of age and group were also taken into 
account. 
 
To calculate the value of its human assets in 1995-96, all the 1,172 employees 
of Infosys were divided into five groups, based on their average age. Each 
group's average compensation was calculated. Infosys also calculated the 
compensation of each employee at retirement by using an average rate of

HRA - The Benefits and Hurdles
	The benefits of adopting HRA were manifold. It helped an organization to 
	take managerial decisions based on the availability and the necessity of 
	human resources. When the human resources were quantified, it gave the 
	investors and other clients true insights into the organization and its 
	future potential. Proper valuation of human resources helped organizations 
	to eliminate the negative effects of redundant labor.

		  This, in turn, helped them to channelize the 
			available skills, talents, knowledge and experience of their 
			employees more efficiently. By adopting and implementing HRA in an 
			organization, the following important information could be obtained: 
			 
			• Cost per employee 
			• Human capital investment ratio 
			• The amount of wealth created by each employee 
			• The profit created by each employee 
			• The ratio of salary paid to the total revenue generated 
			• Average salary of each employee 
			• Employee absenteeism rates 
			• Employee turnover rate and retention rate...  |
