Align HR practices with your objectives and keep your company
competitive

A company's ability to grow and stay on top of customer demand
has always depended heavily on the quality of its people. Now, more
than ever, businesses recognize that finding (and keeping) a highly
skilled and motivated workforce is pivotal to success. Maybe you're
a business owner and your company is growing, or you're an employee
at a small- to midsize-company and management has asked you to take
on some--or all--of their HR functions. Either way,
knowing how to set up and implement successful HR practices (not to
mention navigating the legal minefields in today's increasingly
regulated environment) can be tricky.

Human Resources Kit For Dummies is your one-stop resource
for learning the nuts and bolts of HR. It gives you forms and
templates that you can put to immediate and productive use.

* New information on anti-discrimination legislation; measuring
performance; hiring, firing, and retaining employees; and training
and development plans

* The latest info on online and social media policies

* Updated forms and contracts, from job application forms and
sample employee policies to performance appraisals and benefit plan
worksheets

If you're currently working in Human Resources or are
responsible for employees in your business, the tools presented
here help you maximize the effectiveness of your own HR
program.
