5.0 out of 5 stars D. Linke review of Human Resources Policies and Procedures, December 16, 2004

This review is from: Human Resource Policies and Procedures for Nonprofit Organizations (Hardcover)

I have used forms and checklists from this book most recently with a large arts organization. We got excellent results because the materials are well-indexed, easy to understand, and easy to adapt for immediate use.

Every leader we have worked with involved in either nonprofit organization accountability or in competition for funding and other resources benefitted greatly from having this book within ready reach.

3.0 out of 5 stars Where is the CD?, March 6, 2007

This review is from: Human Resource Policies and Procedures for Nonprofit Organizations (Paperback)

After reading the job description, I assumed that this book came with a CD loaded with sample policies. Yet when I received it, it was only a book. So beware - if you want some sample policies on a CD, this is not the book for you.
