DOI: https://doi.org/10.26048/dy6x-ja03 Abstract: Through operational observations from a research project, we explain that investing in human capital could impact on performance. In fact, in our connected society, services companies agree about importance of human capital to obtain competitive advantage from new entrants as Airbnb that don’t provide human services. But on the field, performance indicators are always based on financial performance and not aon human perspective. After analysis of three operational issues linked with human capital, we made a bibliographic review around concrete measures of human capital parameters. We use literature about intellectual capital. These parameters could be used in hotels to observe impact of human capital on financial performance.
