Here is what people are saying about the The Hr Answer Book: An Indispensable Guide for Managers and Human Resources Professionals
"Good for manager, needs more depth to be useful for HR professionals" | 2009-04-16 |
| - Reviewed By la-layl |
This in excellent primer on all things HR for HR professionals as well as managers. The 10 chapters covers all the major areas of HR including selection; policies; performance management; training & development; employees relations; as well as compensation and benefits.
The chapters are Witten in a Q & A format: common questions relating to the chapter's topic are answered in a fairly straight-forward manner and with enough details. Most concepts are explained succinctly and clearly without boring the reader. I especially liked the fact that the questions deal with both conceptual and practical elements of each topic. For example, in the chapter on HR policies, one of the questions is "should our company have an employee handbook?" and the answer explains both the legal and practical need for the handbook. Another question focuses on the "stylistic considerations in writing the manual."
The only complaint I had with the book is in the depth of the material covered. In targeting both HR professionals and managers, the authors may have had, by necessity, to "tune-down" some of the content and therefore, as an HR professional this was a little too basic for me to be as useful as it could've been. |

I found this book very helpful for a new person to the field of HR, obviously its not meant as an "authority" but it does provide helpful insight on what to do. It's a SUPER easy read and it was very, very practical. The best way I can describe it is that it's like one of those "for dummy's" books; you have a question-the book answers it.
Again, very helpful, great advice, a must have for anyone new to the field. |

"Keep Within Easy Reach" | 2008-08-24 |
| - Reviewed By michaellgooch |
As a corporate HR director for a fortune 500 company, I am supposed to have all the answers when the phone rings or someone walks in the door. I don't have all the answers and never will and that is why I keep reference books such as the HR Answer Book within easy reach.
I can recommend this book to anyone in HR at any level. It's topic matter ranges from the very simple to more complex issues. I hope the revised version will contain a large section on labor relations as this is an area that many in HR struggle with. Michael L. Gooch, SPHR Author ofWingtips with Spurs

I highly recommend this book. I run a HR department by myself and since it is just me, myself, and I - this book gets lots of use; just to get another perspective on how something should be handled or feedback "so to speak."
It is written in a simple, clear, and direct manner. Very easy to use and understand.
