Book Review - The Big Book of HR

About the Book
Managing people is the most challenging part of any leader’s day. And that job certainly is not getting any easier. The Big Book of HR will provide any HR professional, manager, or business owner, of any size organization, the information they need to get the most from their talent. It is filled with information on everything from the most strategic HR-related issues to the smallest tactical detail of how to manage people.

The Big Book of HR is intended for anyone who works with people and wants to maximize the impact that the employees have on the success of the organization. Each topic covered includes information on associated legal issues and includes stories from leading organizations to illustrate how human resources can positively impact the organization. Many sample forms and templates, plus a list of additional resources, are included.

The Big Book of HR will clearly and comprehensively explain how to:

  • Identify, motivate, and retain superstar employees.
  • Determine the kind of employees needed and when to hire them.
  • Select the best applicants.
  • Assimilate new talent into the organization.
  • Manage using total rewards and performance management.
  • Maintain positive employee relations and manage conflict.

The Big Book of HR is an easy-to-use guide filled with examples, tips, and sidebars. Each chapter can stand alone for quick reference, and the appendix is full of forms and samples that can be easily assimilated into any organization’s HR operations.

My Take on the Book
This was a book that is a must have for any human resource professional or really any person who is managing other people. The book is well designed and you can easily find the intricacies of management whether this is has to do with employee benefits, disability issues, performance management or other such issues. The book provided some great step-by-step instructions in how to develop high quality policies and procedures that can be easily implemented within your workplace too. I highly recommend this book to all!
