As founder of the Saratoga Institute in 1980, he developed the first international HR benchmarking service, eventually covering 2,000 companies in a dozen countries. Recently, he was cited as one of the fifty persons who have "significantly changed what HR does and how it does it" in the past fifty years.Dr. Fitz-enz has published over 220 articles, reports and book chapters on measurement and management. His 8 books have been translated into Chinese, German, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish and Turkish. He is the only two-time winner of the SHRM Book of the Year Award for Human Value Management (1991) and The ROI of Human Capital (2001).
