Editor Alfred J. Walker briefly introduces the new Web-based technologies that are enabling human resource (HR) managers to operate more effectively. He then offers a series of 17 articles by different authors covering these new approaches. The topics covered include Web-based employee self-service, delivering employee benefits over the Web, creating an HR service center, outsourcing and using the Web for a variety of services, including recruiting, staffing, compensation planning, employee development and knowledge management. This specialized book will primarily interest HR professionals, top executives and information technology professionals involved in setting up HR information systems. Since HR professionals are attuned to human failings, we [...] trust they will forgive the book's occasional information overlaps - hard to avoid with a collection of articles by different authors - and frequently return to this solid and specifically useful book.

Since June of 2009, I have been waiting to receive my book. I have made several attempts to the seller to resolve the issue. To this point, no resolution has been made. I will never order from this seller again because (1) they are not willing to work with you, nor (2)willing to resolve the matter of the book. I had to order another book which caused an inconvenience for me.

This book comprehensive introduction and focuses largely on what web-based HR looks like in practice,and what this technology brings to HR's most critical functions.
