Evidence-Based Human Resource Management

Evidence-based Human Resources Management is the first text to focus on proving the "value proposition" of HR systems to executive decision makers. Moving away from a "cost-center" or overhead view of HR, Dr. Russell offers a step-by-step guide on how best to demonstrate the impact of HR systems on important business outcomes (financial and operational). Starting with an in-depth discussion of Keith Hammonds (in)famous article titled "Why I hate HR," Dr. Russell employs real HR examples to help orient HR professionals to the quantitative tools needed to evaluate HR effectiveness and efficiency. Despite its depth of coverage, Evidenced-based Human Resources Management is accessible HR statisticsphobes and will prove useful to both those wanting an overview of the topic and those who wish to evaluate HR systems in detail.
