DOWNLOAD EBOOKEffective Human Resource Management is the Center for Effective Organizations' (CEO) sixth report of a fifteen-year study of HR management in today's organizations. The only long-term analysis of its kind, this book compares the findings from CEO's earlier studies to new data collected in 2010. Edward E. Lawler III and John W. Boudreau measure how HR management is changing, paying particular attention to what creates a successful HR function—one that contributes to a strategic partnership and overall organizational effectiveness. Moreover, the book identifies best practices in areas such as the design of the HR organization and HR metrics. It clearly points out how the HR function can and should change to meet the future demands of a global and dynamic labor market. For the first time, the study features comparisons between U.S.-based firms and companies in China, Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, and other European countries. With this new analysis, organizations can measure their HR organization against a worldwide sample, assessing their positioning in the global marketplace, while creating an international standard for HR management.

Personal responsibility, networking and diversity are increasingly recognized as key prerequisites for agility, adaptability and innovativeness.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis is the Center for Effective Organizations’s (CEO) fourth national study of the human resources (HR) function in large corporations. It is the only long-term national study of this important function. Like the previous studies, it focuses on measuring whether the HR function is changing and on gauging its effectiveness. The study focuses particularly on whether the HR function is changing to become an effective strategic partner. It also analyzes how organizations can more effectively manage their human capital. The present study compares data from earlier studies to data collected in 2004. The results show some important changes and indicate what HR needs to do to be effective. Practices are identified that enable HR functions to be high value-added strategic partners.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe international best seller Human Resource Champions helped set the HR agenda for the 1990s and enabled HR professionals to become strategic partners in their organizations. But earning a seat at the executive table was only the beginning. Today's HR leaders must also bring substantial value to that table. Drawing on their 16-year study of over 29,000 HR professionals and line managers, leading HR experts Dave Ulrich and Wayne Brockbank propose The HR Value Proposition. The authors argue that HR value creation requires a deep understanding of external business realities and how key stakeholders both inside and outside the company define value. Ulrich and Brockbank provide practical tools and worksheets for leveraging this knowledge to create HR practices, build organizational capabilities, design HR strategy, and marshal resources that create value for customers, investors, executives, and employees. Written by the field's premier trailblazers, this book charts the path HR professionals must take to help lead their organizations into the future. Ulrich is a professor at the University of Michigan School of Business and the author of 12 books and more than 100 articles on the subject of human resources. Brockbank is a clinical professor of business at the University of Michigan School of Business, the author of award-winning papers on HR strategy, and an adviser to top global organizations.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKSeminar paper from the year 2014 in the subject Leadership and Human Resources - Miscellaneous, grade: 1,3, FOM Hochschule für Oekonomie und Management gemeinnützige GmbH, Hochschulstudienzentrum Freiburg, language: English, abstract: The recession in 2008/09 illustrated for some companies the weakness in the marketplace that led to lower company valuations, increased business failures, outsourced businesses of companies, and sell offs of noncore business units. But if the organizations think forward they find opportunities that were not available when business was booming, such as expanding their company through acquisition. Eventually companies always need to look forward to stay competitive, capture market share, and be the first to innovate a new product or service (Mondy 2014, p.115). Organizations use strategic planning as a constantly changing and ongoing process in order to find a competitive advantage. They see the need to diversify and increase variety of goods that are made or sold. At other times companies have the requirement to downsize in response of the external environment or the strategic plan sees integration as their driving force, what means the unified control of a number of successive or similar operations. Therefor strategic planning endeavours to position the organization regarding external environment. Thus strategic planning at all levels of organization is important (Mondy 2014, p.115). To anticipate future business and environmental demands on the company, strategic planning in human resource (HR) is necessary to meet the personnel requirements dictated by those conditions (Lengnick-Hall 1988, p. 457). Hereby the strategic management process is used to answer a central question in HR strategy planning: ‘How to develop a human resource strategic plan?
