The aim is to highlight the relevance, the signification and the role of human capital in the economic life of a company. In this regard, the paper demonstrates that it is possible to develop the existing reporting frameworks of human capital in order to create a simple framework that can be used both by practitioners and researchers in the field. The evolution of human capital concept illustrates the contribution of academic researchers in the development of the field which help us to develop the reporting framework of human capital.
