Both in theory and practice of management, it is accepted, that after possible adaptation, non-profit organizations make use of solutions worked out and practiced in business environmental. Some of these solutions relate to philosophy of management and organization (eg. TQM), and some of them are management tools (eg. benchmarking, SWOT). This direction of flow of knowledge is profitable mostly for non-profit organization, which through using methods and tools, gain over knowledge worked out by another organizations. This process deliver very limited learning possibilities for commercial organizations. This inequality is accepted, and sharing the knowledge with non-profits is sometimes treated as proof of social responsibility of business. The business organisations face still new challenges, which extort the search of new solutions for management. The searching area still broadens - the organizations reach to sphere of ecology, ethics, or cybernetics. The fruits of these searches are, among the others, the conceptions of corporate social responsibility and total participation management. The commercial organistions strive, sometimes with troubles, to implement theses conceptions, which are strongly familiar to some non-profi t organizations, which made 'third sector' - the sector of nongovernmental organizations. It means, the non-profit organizations could be treated as an benchmark for commercial organizations for implementation of conceptions mentioned before. The conceptions of corporate social responsibility and participation management is presented in the article in the reference to non-governmental organizations.

In the business environment, if something cannot be measured then it does not exist. Areas, initiatives, and actions whose effects cannot be defined in financial, qualitative, quantitative, or time-related categories are not the subject of interest of business. After all, the primary reason behind functioning in the business environment is return on investment. If an area fails to make such a return or if it cannot be measured then it is simply eliminated. The area of personnel policy is seen by many companies as an unnecessary expense, deadweight that the organization must carry whether it wants to or not, and that it would most happily unload through outsourcing. However, as shown by research, companies that shape the individual areas of personnel policy consciously and in line with business strategy achieve better economic results than those organizations that do not assign any greater weight to effective personnel management. Measuring growth rates on investments in human capital is not only possible, but is a vital component in the management of a modern company on an increasingly competitive and demanding market. This article presents a methodology for measuring individual elements of personnel policy on the basis of over thirty years of research applying Saratoga HC Benchmarking. The text also includes the most interesting results of the most recent studies conducted among Polish companies as compared with the results of European and American companies.

W środowisku biznesowym coś, co jest niemierzalne – nie istnieje. Obszary, inicjatywy, działania, których efektów nie można określić w kategoriach finansowych, jakościowych, ilościowych, lub czasu – nie stanowią przedmiotu zainteresowania biznesu. Podstawowym powodem funkcjonowania w środowisku biznesowym jest bowiem zwrot z inwestycji. Jeśli jakiś obszar tego zwrotu nie przynosi, lub nie da się go zmierzyć, jest zwyczajnie likwidowany. Obszar polityki personalnej postrzegany jest w wielu firmach jako zbędny koszt, bagaż, który organizacja chcąc nie chcąc musi dźwigać, choć najchętniej pozbyłaby się go na zewnątrz. Tymczasem, jak dowodzą badania, firmy, które w sposób świadomy i zgodny ze strategią biznesową kształtują poszczególne obszary polityki personalnej, osiągają lepsze wyniki ekonomiczne, niż te organizacje, które nie przykładają większej wagi do efektywnego zarządzania personelem. Pomiar stopy zwrotu z inwestycji w kapitał ludzki jest nie tylko możliwy, ale stanowi niezbędny element zarządzania nowoczesnym przedsiębiorstwem na coraz bardziej konkurencyjnym i wymagającym rynku. Artykuł prezentuje metodykę pomiaru poszczególnych elementów polityki personalnej na podstawie prowadzonych od ponad 30 lat badań Saratoga HC Benchmarking. Tekst zawiera także najciekawsze wyniki ostatnich badań prowadzonych wśród polskich przedsiębiorstw w porównaniu do wyników firm europejskich i amerykańskich.
