Book Description

Publication Date: October 2003 | ISBN-10: 0566085399 | ISBN-13: 978-0566085390

Despite all the hype about e-learning, the real breakthrough in technology, at least as far as HR goes, is in the development of the corporate intranet for people management purposes. Bryan Hopkins' and James Markham's book explains the potential for intranets in every aspect of HR: personnel administration, performance management, employee development, communication and knowledge management, as well as training and e-learning. The book asks and answers the key questions you need to ask yourself and provides case studies illustrating how organizations have successfully exploited their intranet to help their people work more effectively and efficiently. HR managers are under pressure to cut costs, increase the effectiveness and range of the services they deliver. In many organizations there is also considerable pressure to maximize the returns on investment in technology. This book provides you with the means to achieve all of these goals.

1.0 out of 5 stars e-HR surely not so simplistic, October 18, 2003

This review is from: E-Hr: Using Intranets to Improve the Effectiveness of Your People (Hardcover)

As many books about HR this too is concentrating about the operative aspects of the HR process work out.e-HR is dealt from the very operative side,by this way the author leaves the reader the hard task of discovering and reorganizing the few strategical insights provided across the book.I would define it a poor value summary of many othere books,just trying to cover all the critical aspects of the argument but really not having an its own point of view.I shold have expected something really better from a book that has been realesed after an historycal period in which e-HR experiences have been tested in many organizations.In my opinion previously realeased books such as "Web-based Human resources" ,"A thousand tribes","Corporate portals" deal with the problem of the organizational process web-enabling in a more complex and meaningful way.
My suggestion is to enjoy other sources about the argument, first of all the IT systems vendors' sites whose material is really good value.
