Investing in workers is good for organizations—to the tune of $1 billion in economic profit for those that focus on both performance and people, say the McKinsey Global Institute’s Sven Smit, Olivia White, Jonathan Woetzel, and coauthors.
Image description: A dot plot displays the competitive advantage for companies across three performance categories: economic profit, returns on invested capital, and revenue growth during the pandemic. Plot values are used for four different types of companies: performance-focused companies, people-focused companies, companies focused on performance and people, and typical performers. Companies that are focused on both performance and people tend to have a competitive advantage compared with other companies with respect to the three performance categories listed in the chart.
