Over the past decade, human resource (HR) functions, large and small, have played an expanding role in supporting the strategic direction of their organizations. Where at one time HR was seen primarily as an enforcer of policies, it is now considered among top-performing organizations to be a key partner in driving and supporting critical business objectives. HR's ability to contribute to the organization's bottom line involves more than aligning its talent management accountabilities with the mission and vision of the organization. It means continually evaluating and strengthening these accountabilities to ensure value, meaningful impact, and competitive advantage.
Evaluating Human Resources Programs is a groundbreaking book that offers readers a systematic method for enhancing the value and impact of HR and supporting its emerging role as a strategic organizational leader. It provides a practical framework for adjusting and realigning strategies across all types of HR programs. The authors outline a proven six-phase process that will maximize the likelihood of a successful HR program evaluation, including real-world techniques, strategies, and examples to illustrate their recommended steps and actions.
Evaluating Human Resources Programs offers consultants and professionals an invaluable resource for understanding and implementing a successful evaluation that will have a meaningful impact on their organizations' HR programs and strategic outcomes. |
