The aim of the article is to provide detailed academic discussion of the human capital potential and its effects on the value of the company. Attention is paid especially to the definition of the human resources in this context and possible measurability, assuming what can be measured, can be increased. Although the company value can be measured by financial analyses tools, we have in the article moved on to the empirical dimension and provide a theoretical framework of the represented issue. Firstly, we stressed the importance of knowledge in the society of today, secondly, we outlined the indispensability of the intellectual capital for the companies and after that we dealt with the human capital itself, both competences and competencies and their measurability. Based on the partial results, the figure describing the creation of company value was formed; we identified important variables and one of the triggers of these variables.All findings are supported with the literature review e. g. Andreissen (2004), Boddy (2008), Kubeš, et al. (2004), Marinič (2008), Stewart (1998) and Sullivan (2000).
