Reviews

"The Big Book of HR is a great HR reference book that covers virtually all areas of the human resources field--a one source of relevant information. The chapters include everything from the legal aspects of the employment relationship to the core function of HR which is attracting and developing talent for the organization. It is a practical guide which is easy to follow and provides solid recommendations on how to lead an HR organization for the benefit of the enterprise it supports. If I could only have one HR book on my shelf, this would be the one."--Gus Siekierka, retired VP and chief HR officer, CSC
"The Big Book of HR is both a great reference book and a training tool. I would recommend this as 'must have' for HR professionals. For those who are developing talent, this is an excellent tool to test knowledge and teach core competencies."--Janet N. Parker, executive vice president, Corporate, HR, Regions Bank (retired)
"HR Professionals: Buy it, read it, rely on it and you will never regret it! Although there are lots of books on HR, The Big Book of HR is best guide for an HR practitioner out there. Regardless if you are new to the profession or tenured, The Big Book will become a reference companion to your daily work. Throughout the book it is extremely clear that Mitchell and Gamlem are seasoned professionals in the industry. Their ability to break down the concepts and apply the to situations an HR professional will come across daily ensure that this book will be well worn and dog eared. I was very impressed by the way they conveyed 'insights' or 'things to be aware of' that most practitioners only learn through trial and error. I wish I had this book when I was starting out! The book also allows you to lean on leaders in the HR profession as if they were sitting in the desk beside you."--Sarah Rajtick, Senior Vice President, Human Resources, American Truckers Associations
"I am excited about this new edition of The Big Book of HR--a comprehensive HR management guidebook. Offering practical and useful tips to put knowledge into practice, this is a 'must have' for managers of all levels. I'm recommending it for use in my organization."
