Company Policy and Personnel Workbook (Company Policy and Personnel Workbook)

Rating:
Summary: An outstanding first book on HRM
Review: As a new practitioner of human resouces management in our company I have found this book particularly valuable. It provides the human resource manager with an essential check list of issues and responsibilities that are an integral part of managing, overseeing, interviewing, and trouble-shooting employee matters.

The authors discuss and explain a wide range of systems that must be in place for a company, large and small, to operate within the parameters of acceptable pactice and to provide the policy protection that the law requires. Forms are provided, interview check lists, sample policy approaches and professional standards are all a part of this valuable workbook.

I would have wanted to see what a personnel file would contain, though I guess the authors expected the readers to do a little work on their own.

Summary: Extremely helpful
Review: Clear and concise, with many written samples that can be incorporated directly with some changes to produce a basic personnel policy for your company. Addresses issues of deciding policy as well as how to write the plan itself
