Consulting Psychologists Pr.
Partnership HR; new norms for effective recruitment, performance, and training of today's workforce.
Buchen analyzes three areas that he sees as needing revision in human resources operations: recruitment, performance evaluation, and training. He considers how companies and cultures have implemented changes and how in the process, their workforce has changed, creating hybrid roles such as employee-managers, manager-leaders, and leader-futurists. He discusses partnerships with research, the human resource and technology interface, workforce innovation and company culture, and redefining the human resources mission through orientation and hiring practices, job satisfaction, retention strategies, and a reexamination of work and organizational relationships. He then discusses evaluation and training. The volume lacks a bibliography. Buchen (business, Capella U.) is an international management consultant and author. (Annotation ©2007 Book News Inc.
