From the Paper:

"Human resources have historically been seen as the most expensive aspect of any business because payroll and benefits account for more than forty percent of businesses in America and the world. This can be considered to be a large drain on any organization's bottom line. Of course, the other way of looking at the function is that it represents the true company asset - people. And, people are the real value added feature of any business because without them, no sales or manufacturing can occur."
