Why you should read Hiring and Keeping the Best People
This book, part of the Harvard Business Essentials series, packs a huge amount of valuable information about hiring and retaining a great workforce into 200-odd pages. If more companies followed its five-step hiring process, not only would talented employees face greater competition for their services, companies would get better staffers and the fit of workers to their jobs would improve. The book demonstrates an awareness of the realities of diversity in the modern workplace and the expectations employees have about work-life balance. The writing is clear and concise, and avoids jargon. getAbstract recommends this handy guide to anyone involved in the hiring and retention process.
