From the Author
When first appointed as a personnel manager in the nineteen eighties, after much experience in industrial relations, I found there was lots of personnel-related pragmatic knowledge that I was lacking. Years later, Tricia Jackson and I were tutoring on the Certificate in Personnel Practice (CPP) programme and we concluded that this course needed a suitable textbook that would provide the same essential practical material. I also felt that smaller businesses, not employing a personnel professional, would need much of this crucial information.
From the outset the, now Chartered, Institute of Personnel and Development were enthusiastic about the idea of a course textbook and their CPP syllabus provided an ideal structure and an excellent content guide. As you might expect, the book is now immensely popular with those on the CPP programme.
But we were particularly delighted that Bob Patchett, in his review for Croners Personnel Assistant Handbook, thought fit to state that: "the book is comprehensive and detailed enough to stand alone as a guide to sound practice in managing people".
The book does indeed seem to find a broad market and we hope it is making an appropriate contribution to the process of managing people successfully.
