Work to the Power of People (W^P®) is a concise way to articulate the relationship between people, work and profitable, efficient business. It has also become the context in which to explain Standard Integrated People Practices (SIPP^®). Work to the Power of People (W^P®) advocates a work centric approach.

Proper articulation of people's roles in business and how Human Capital capability supports this has the potential to assist Human Capital as an industry and as a profession with the aim of being true business partners. Articulating SIPP^®, and its embedded compliance issues, will drive compliance and ensure business support for the basic disciplines that should exist if the true value of people (ROI, cost, investment) and a Human Capital capability is to be fully realised. The concepts proposed are universally true and transcend industry, business type, maturity and cultural differences that might exist between organisations
