Synopsis

Business driven or strategic human resource management is a term which reflects a growing belief that human resource management (HRM) should play a central role in the development of business strategies. Until recently HRM was generally associated with administrative functions such as the recruitment, discipline and reward of employees. This text shows how HRM can play a much more strategic role in the management of a company. It provides a comprehensive and integrated coverage of the subject which is linked both to practical experience and research. Four major case studies are included to provide examples of the application of different aspects of business driven HRM. There is also a selection of self audit questionnaires which help the reader compare their own organization's approach to what is recommended in the text.

A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

Business Driven human resource Management David Hussey David Hussey Et Associates, CIMID, UK Much attention is being given to the need for organisations to take a strategic view of HR management. Research shows that although many are responding to this need, relatively few are succeeding. The broad philosophy is not difficult to explain or argue, but the problems arise when the organisation begins to apply the detailed application of the idea to specific aspects of HR activity. Business Driven Human Resource Management:

• Goes beyond the concepts to provide practical methods for making them work in all organisations.
• Provides a general framework which shows how every HR area can link to the corporate vision, values, strategies and policies, both in a reactive and proactive way.
• Includes case histories, with lessons of success and failure, from organisations who are, or are not, applying aspects of this framework.
• Uses various case studies of HRM to illustrate how the model may be modified and applied in practice. Supported by examples these explanations allow the reader to apply the framework to other areas of HR, and highlight critical strategic issues.
• Provides a modern interpretation of what used to be termed ?manpower planning?; pays special attention to managing organisational change, and covers current trends to ensure that HRM adds value to the organisation.

Business Driven Human Resource Management provides practical answers to an issue that is of concern to HR professionals and senior managers. It will provide essential reading for anyone trying to get the best out of an organisation.
