We all know that to survive in today's increasingly challenging world of work, we have to be lifelong learners. We have to be open not only to learning new things, but also to incorporating those things in our everyday approach to our jobs.
Simple, right? Not if you know that HR is a complex field. Human Resources tools and techniques draw on a wide and growing body of knowledge and requirements. The challenge is to stay informed of the field's best practices and ever changing requirements.
I'm delighted to announce that the newly revised and updated book, The Essential HR Handbook (10th Anniversary Edition), has just been officially released. So much has changed since the original was published, but one thing remains the same – people issues can be challenging and good people management is critical to the success of any organization. This edition covers the critical functions within HR – what it means today to acquire, train, and compensate employees while managing their performance and attending to their concerns about labor relations, health and safety, and fairness, and the management actions – both big and small – that support them.
The book provides practical, step-by-step information, tools, and techniques to help managers and HR professionals excel. In it you’ll find out how to:
- Attract talented staff through social media recruiting
- Identify legal pitfalls to avoid lawsuits and regulatory interference
- Train a diverse and inclusive multigenerational workforce
- Provide the compensation and benefits package that will make your organization an “employer of choice”
- Streamline your orientation and on-boarding practices so new employees hit the ground running
The Essential HR Handbook also includes a variety of checklists, forms, tables, links, letters, laws, further reading and resources to assist you with the process. Use it as a reference document. Each chapter stands alone so you can pick it up and read it when you need it.
Join me in congratulating Sharon Armstrong and Barbara Mitchell on this latest edition of The Essential HR Handbook. I know that it is no small feat to revise a book!
