Complex and, often painful, process of change. "The Gower HR Transformation Series" will help.
The very same businesses that have been spending recent years cost cutting, restructuring and streamlining, are putting the pressure on the HR 'overhead' to prove that it is not just a cost centre, but a function that provides added value through alignment to business needs and aspirations. Jane Saunders and Ian Hunter explain five fundamental issues in the service design phase that will align the HR strategy and delivery strategy to the business strategy. These issues are critical to ensuring a fit for purpose HR function that can measure and demonstrate the value it adds.

Together, the eight titles create a definitive guide from one of the leading specialist HR transformation consultancies.
‘First comes the iron and then comes the snow, and then comes the winter when nothing will grow.’ Since her father went missing while prospecting for oil in Siberia, life has been tougher than ever for India Bentley. Little does she know that he was actually searching for Ironheart, a legendary fortress containing the secrets of the old world. A place some say could save humanity . . . or destroy the world. Along with tech-hunter Verity Brown and her android, Calculus, a killer from the old world turned protector in the new, India must make the journey to remote Siberia to try to find her father and finish his work. But there are others fighting to find Ironheart too – and they have very different goals in mind. If India fails, it won’t just be her father who pays the price. It will cost her the Earth.

One of the most significant and yet largely overlooked factors influencing performance and workplace problem solving in many large organizations is that of national culture. Managers, and the organizations for which they work, need to be able to understand the influence of cultural values and beliefs on performance in order to identify appropriate solutions; strategies appropriate in one part of the world may be ineffective or even counter-productive in another. Bryan Hopkins' ground breaking book relates the concept of cultural dimensions, as developed by writers such as Hofstede and Trompenaars, to the performance engineering approaches of Gilbert and Mager and Pipe, to show how strategies...
Faced with numerous challenges, from globalism to economic turbulence, organizations need an Human Resources function that can lead from the front.

They share, and guide you through, their model for successful HR development, and point you to potential solutions and good practice which has worked for other companies. This book is part of t...
