Description

Capitalizing on HR Trends is an authoritative, insider’s perspective on identifying and leveraging trends that will enable human resources to remain successful in today’s challenging economy. Featuring HR executives representing some of the top companies in the nation, this book provides best practices for researching and evaluating the most significant developments and analyzing the short- and long-term impact of implementation. These industry experts share their strategies for prioritizing trend selection, predicting bottom-line impact, minimizing risk, and communicating results to senior management. Recognizing the imperative need to retain top talent after the economy turns, the authors also discuss the importance of boosting employee morale, embracing cultural and generational diversity, and encouraging work/life balance with a mobile workforce. Those seeking to position their company for long-term success will benefit from the authors’ advice on the globalization of learning, shifting retirement trends, sustainability strategies, and the implications of health care changes on benefits administration and cost. The different niches presented and the breadth of perspectives represented enable readers to get inside some of the leading minds today, as these insiders offer their thoughts on approaching even the most challenging of trends to improve efficiency, increase engagement, reduce cost, and add measurable value to the bottom line and beyond.

Inside the Minds provides readers with proven business intelligence from C-Level executives (Chairman, CEO, CFO, CMO, Partner) from the world’s most respected companies nationwide, rather than third-party accounts from unknown authors and analysts. Each chapter is comparable to an essay/thought leadership piece and is a future-oriented look at where an industry, profession or topic is headed and the most important issues for the future. Through an exhaustive selection process, each author was hand-picked by the Inside the Minds editorial board to author a chapter for this book.
