Abstract:

"HR Strategy: Business focused, individually centred does not add to the relentless hype about HR. It takes a long hard look at what does and what does not make a significant difference to the way organizations perform. Getting the best for the business, the people who work in it and society at large is something that only the most assiduous HR strategists will achieve."--BOOK JACKET.

Summary

Addressing the two key themes of translating business strategy into a workable, measurable HR strategy, this volume simultaneously examines the needs and motivational patterns of individual employees in order to unleash their maximum value. The ultimate aim of any HR strategy is to design the highest value organization. Strategy may be a notoriously difficult topic to pin down but the author produces both a wide-angle view and specific examples of what a real HR strategy looks like in different organizational contexts. This is a book that covers the theory but swiftly moves on to the question of how anyone might actually start to develop a high value HR strategy. It shows the key ingredients and practical steps involved in implementation.
