Features: Human resources serving corporate strategy is always easy to say from the mouth of a human resources director, but they conceal the extremely complex challenges described in this book. Anyone who truly wants to implement it should read Linda Halpern's book first. This book is deeply researched, covering all aspects of strategic human resource management, and includes excellent case studies that summarize the specific experiences of human resource experts in the public and private sectors. I commend Linda Halpern for putting this extensive research together. Human resource management is not as simple as recruitment, performance evaluation, motivation, and other tasks. An active strategic human resource manager can make a significant difference in corporate value. In this inspiring book, Linda Halpern provides a series of tools and case studies to demonstrate that strategic human resource managers can maximize their impact on corporate success by participating in the development of many key corporate strategies—often within their existing job responsibilities. The relationship between effective talent strategies and corporate success is difficult to quantify economically, but Halpern provides many persuasive case studies, which undoubtedly add to the growing evidence. This book includes cases of top strategists, including Dr. Candace Albers from BP and Gove Nagos from Standard Chartered. The surveys and feature articles of "Today's Human Resources" and Roffey Park form the foundation of this book.
