Useless
Do not read this book unless you have never even heard of the Human Resources profession. The book covered such basic concepts that anyone with a little common sense could have figured out on their own. I wanted to learn more about the laws that govern H.R., recruiting and sucession planning. There was a simple introduction to a few of the laws that affect H.R. policies, but nothing in depth. The section on recruiting was extremely basic and succesion planning was not even mentioned. I have only been in the H.R. business for one year and this book didn't cover anything I didn't alreaady know.

Poor organization, Elementary, yet a useful reference for...
This is a good source of information for both professionals and new students of HR management. Content:The author has done a descent job collecting useful informations and also adressing a number of key issues in the field of HR management.Non-the-less he often fails to provide an in-depth analysis that the discipline deserves.Indeed, imprtant topics such as,HR Forcasting on P.65,is dealt with as if it is a legal briefing than an in-depth analysis that such crucial subject requires.Organization:Perhaps, the weakest part of this book is its poor organization; It lacks cohesiveness.In fact, it is organized so poorly that the reader notices almost instantly. Conclusion: It could be a solid book if re-orgonized/revised, added more in-depth analysis,and avoid unnecessary repeatitions that appper and re-appear throughout the book.Still, a good source for new students and new employees of the HR management.
