Reclaiming the Soul of Human Resources: How to Recover the Purpose of HR to Nurture and Protect the Human Spirit - Paperback

by Cathy Raymond (Author)

As a human resources leader, you can make a difference in your organization one employee at a time. Human resources is a "people profession." Its goals are to help people achieve their potential and the organization succeed. But as the profession has evolved, these objectives have fallen by the wayside-and it shows. Employees are unhappier than ever, negativity runs rampant, and the organization's ability to deliver quality service and product is challenged. HR professionals are desperately trying to keep their heads above water as they juggle the demands of their organizations. How do we get back to our roots? Reclaiming the Soul of Human Resources will show you how to nurture and protect the vital human spirit in your organization. It also addresses one of the biggest issues in today's organizations: capacity-getting the most out of your resources without losing sight of quality. You will learn about systems and policies that both support the human spirit and deliver on the organization's purpose. HR professionals, executives, managers, and supervisors will find connections and insights that they can apply to their own work. The stories are universal, the "how to's" are practical, and the possibilities are endless.
