From the Back Cover
This book provides practical tools for human resource develoment professionals who are seeking to translate the findings of sound research into sound practice within their organizations.
Sifting through the huge number of variables that affect human performance, and isolating the effect of any one of them, is next to impossible in the complex, dynamic organizations in which most of us work. And yet, that is precisely what is needed if HRD practices are to be designed and implemented optimally.
Sound research can help make sense of this complexity and provide guidance in the construction of sound practice. Unfortunately, sorting through the research on any given aspect of human resource development can be a daunting task. The What Works series is designed to solve these problems and facilitate the translation of research into practice.
ASTD is proud to present this first book in the What Works series: Assessment, Development, and Measurement. The topics in this book were chosen both because of their importance to the HRD community and the potential for research to address them meaningfully.
