Product Description
Review
"This is a volume that helps Human Resource practitioners to focus on the "proactive" rather than the "reactive" and therefore take their worth to the organisation into a new dimension." - Bill Steggals Vice President, Insoursing and Executive Recruitment Ingenix International "The book addresses the basics without being patronising, and the broader future focused concepts without resorting to pure theory, the book is informative, thought provoking and an easy read. A great hand book for any HR professional." - Bill Best Head of Assessment and Development Practice The Executive Coaching Centre Ltd "Often within an HR department there is a clear desire to change but what is required is both a philosophy as well as a practical structure to support this change. The book presents an excellent way forward by bringing HR into the main strategic hub of an organisation and helping to meet business targets. I believe the book will be valuable, both to senior management looking to maximise the value of HR operations as well as HR professionals at all levels." - Neil Ridsdale Managing Director Network Training "At last, an HR book which delivers the goods. Excellent for those wising to become more strategic and add value to their organisations." - Wayne Repich President Brokers Bank of America
Product Description
In today's rapidly changing, constantly re-training world, where "people are our most important asset", an HR department should be central to strategic decision making. Yet, HR departments rarely contribute any strategic advantage to their company and perform tasks that could be done at less cost by an external supplier. In-house HR professionals are faced with a choice: either accept the challenge and create an entirely new role or risk the demise of HR as we know it through a process of downsizing and outsourcing. Whether you are a board level manager or an in-house HR specialist, this briefing shows you how to redesign your HR department to deliver measurable value to your organisation. Through extensive case studies, tools and models, it details the steps you need to take to change your HR function from a process-orientated function to one involved in strategic decision making at the highest level. Readers will learn how to:
- Identify the need for change
- Assess their department's current position and skill-set
- Understand the information requirements of internal customers
- Identify the skills required to deliver measurable value
- Understand the strategy process and the implications for HR
- Establish credibility with key figures in the organisation

Redesigning HR for Strategic Advantage
24 April 2001
this is a fabulous book that highlights a very underlooked area...one of my favorite reads this year....too frequently, managers do not realize the huge amount of value that can be realized through a well-run hr department...no matter how great the business, without execution nothing matters....Tony Miller does a great job of highlighting how HR fits at the center of an organization, its importance, and how HR can help a company obtain its goals...he draws upon a number of cases to help illustrate how to both build an HR department and improve an exisiting one....i strongly suggest this book for HR execs, managers and students who are fascinated with the study of business
