This review is from: Managing Human Resources: Productivity, Quality of Work Life, Profits (Hardcover)

This book is an overview of productivity and how to effectively manage the cornerstone of HR. It's an excellent read for those readers wanting a broad overview, but may be a disappointment for readers searching for canned metrics on productivity and quantitative measures of human resources.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic - ties it all together, May 23, 2000

By 

Bryan C. Pigott - See all my reviews

This review is from: Managing Human Resources (Hardcover)

This is a great book. It very nicely ties together all phases of the employment process focusing on making data-driven decisions and linking HR and I/O Psychology functions to the bottom line. Throughout the text it provides 'capsules' on case studies to illustrate the points in each section. A must have for the scientist / practitioner and management generalist!
