Editorial Reviews
Book Description
The human resources function is highly regulated and fast changing, operating in an environment of international terrorism and corporate upheaval that is unprecedented. In addition, changes in the economy and the workplace have affected HR policies, procedures, and employee relations issues in organizations of all sizes.
Constant changes in the environment in which the HR function is managed highlight the need for HR managers, CEOs, and other professionals who are charged with the responsibility to establish and manage an HR function to stay up to date on critical HR issues. The 2005 Edition of The Complete Do-It-Yourself Human Resources Department provides in-depth coverage of the various issues that fall under the HR umbrella. It provides hundreds of checklists, reproducible forms, sample policies, and quick-reference procedures. It is also a comprehensive guide for dealing with the many difficult human resources issues managers face daily, such as employee performance, discipline, layoffs, and terminations.
In addition to a complete overview of most HR functions, the accompanying CD-ROM provides easily accessible forms and checklists that can be revised and customized to fit your organization's specific needs.
