People Are Assets Not Expenses: The True Value of Human Capital - Dave Bookbinder

Behind The Numbers

Welcome to a special episode of "Behind the Numbers," featuring an exclusive TEDx-style talk from the Finance Innovation and Excellence (FinEx) Summit 2021! In this episode, Dave Bookbinder explores the powerful idea that a company’s most valuable asset—its people—is often missing from financial statements.

In this award-winning talk, which earned the FinEx Award for Most Impactful Catchphrase, Dave challenges the traditional view that people are simply an expense to be minimized, arguing instead that "People are assets, not expenses." This shift in perspective can transform business success by recognizing the true value of human capital.

Tune in to hear why every CEO who claims “our people are our greatest asset” must back it up by viewing employees as assets rather than expenses. Special thanks to CFO.University and AARO Middle East for making this thought-provoking session possible.
