Description

What difference can an aspiring HR strategist really make to business value? Is HR making the most of its new opportunities to become a pivotal part of the business? In a world where HR can suffer from a low, administrative, profile, Linda Holbeche shows how some HR strategists have impressed and delivered at the highest level.


Building on surveys undertaken through Personnel Today magazine, and research via Roffey Park Management Institute, Holbeche provides a set of tools and case studies that show how HR strategists have utilised their skills to deliver a variety of key business objectives, often within their current job role. The relationship between an effective people strategy and business success is hard to quantify in financial terms, but Holbeche provides persuasive examples to add to the growing body of evidence.
Case studies include M&A policies, organisational design, retaining high flyers in an international environment, and core competency approaches,
Linda Holbeche's previous book on Motivating People in Lean Organizations was shortlisted for last year's MCA book prize.

'A hot issue...Linda Holbeche's book explores both the why and the how, providing clear guidance and practical solutions'.
David Hussey, Chief editor, Croner's Journal of professional HRM

"In my view, an invaluable resource, particularly to those who might be willing to take the radical creative thinking and doing stance that will ensure HR professionals bring added value to their organisations in the new millennium."
Training Journal

"This book will add enormous value to the profession,"
Dave Ulrich, University of Michigan, School of Business

" 'Aligning HR strategy with business strategy' trips so easily off the tongues of HR directors that it belies the tremendously complex challenge that this represents. Anyone thinking of actually doing it should read Linda Holbeche's book first."
Paul Kearns, author of The Bottom Line HR Function
