Some Customer Reviews:
William H. Sevilla, VP Human Resources,St. Mary Medical Center; Faculty member, University of Phoenix
"Any Human Resources Professional will immediately recognize the value and benefits of this handbook and will feel comfortable in implementing the practices provided.
...Rather then simply massaging our time-worn tools, this book provides examples of new tools and techniques which have been developed by successful companies to help them with the same issues. Therefore, my focus and energy is devoted less to conceptual analysis and more to the practical application of these tools to help our organization achieve its goals and objectives.
Dave Mehl, Director, Training & Development, SSOE, Inc.
