What’s the Most Important Asset in Your Business?
If you had to choose just one…
What would you say?
Your building, your technology, your systems, or your financial capital.
All of them are important.
But there’s one that manages all the others—and without it, nothing really works:
Your people.
Behind every process, system, or decision, there’s a person.
And when that person is part of a team that is aligned, willing to grow, and truly engaged, everything changes.
Why Are People the Asset with the Greatest Impact?
According to a study by McKinsey & Company, human capital represents more than two-thirds of average individual wealth, with work experience contributing up to 60% of its total value.

Moreover, Gallup’s State of the Global Workplace 2023 report shows that:
- Only 23% of employees worldwide are actively engaged at work.
- Employee disengagement costs the global economy $8.8 trillion every year, about 9% of the world’s GDP.

What Sets High-Value Teams Apart?
It’s not just about hiring.
Businesses move forward when they have teams that:
- Study regularly
- Learn intentionally
- Apply what they learn directly in their day-to-day role
According to Frankli, companies with engaged employees see:
- 23% higher profitability
- 18% more in sales
