Abstract

This chapter is in the area of human capital development in United Kingdom (UK) enterprises and investigates innovative methods involving an evolutionary approach. The objective is to investigate the importance of human capital development in terms of employee recruitment and selection, engagement, and the management of human capital. The research question asks, How important are these themes to human capital development? The chapter presents a collection of 12 research studies in three themes of human capital development. These are Theme 1: new forms of recruitment and selection; Theme 2: employee engagement; and Theme 3: leadership and stress management. Several methodologies have been used in the studies reported and these include case study research, mixed methods, primary and secondary data, qualitative research, questionnaire survey, semi-structured interviews, statistical evaluations, and survey research. Findings presented in the 12 studies provide evidence of the importance of human capital development in terms of employee recruitment and selection, and engagement.
