KRIEGE, L.K.; JOOSTE, J.L.  and  VLOK, P.J.. A framework for establishing a human asset register for the improved management of people in physical asset management. S. Afr. J. Ind. Eng. [online]. 2016, vol.27, n.4, pp.77-89. ISSN 2224-7890.  http://dx.doi.org/10.7166/27-4-1549.

People are fundamental to the success of managing physical assets. Line managers are increasingly becoming responsible for people-management activities that were traditionally placed within the human resources function, while often lacking effective people-management skills. A framework was developed to establish a human asset register to support asset managers in improving the management of people. The proposed framework provides a generic step-based approach to establishing a structured reflection of human dimensional information to facilitate the application of people management through asset managers. Structured expert interviews validated the proposed framework as providing a pragmatic method to solve the identified problem.
