Beyond Training and Development: State-Of-The-Art Strategies for Enhancing Human Performance

Rating:
Summary: a great find for HR professionals
Review: I should state outright that I'm not an HR professional -- this book is required reading for a course I'm taking. Rothwell writes a very professional (much more so than some of the other HR texts I've been assigned) and well designed textbook that makes it relatively easy to transition a traditional HR office to more of a Human performance office. Every once in a while you'll think to yourself, "well isn't that obvious," (hire bright workers and you won't need to train them as much...), but Rothwell does provide charts and checklists that provide a blueprint to enact these ideas which can only help an organization be more productive. Highly recommended in its field.
