Description
With a huge proportion of any organization?s expenditure invested in human resources and economic pressures demanding that companies
become leaner than ever, it has never been more important for HR professionals to think and act strategically to turn their people planning
into profit.
Focusing on HR as a key driver of competitive advantage and sustainable success, HR Strategy, second
edition, demonstrates how to create a winning human resource strategy by predicting the results you expect to see and developing a workable,
measurable plan for managing human capital. All of this requires an ability to tap into the needs of individual employees to unleash
their maximum value.

the day-to-day practice. This new edition includes:
- Updated case studies to demonstrate how strategies work in different
organizational contexts
- Thorough revision throughout to incorporate the latest theories, developments, tools and measures
- Increased focus on the questions you need to ask about how your organization is configured, its values and principles, and what changes
can be made from the ground up
Audience
