From the Author
This is what I think of my book....This book was written in 1989 and 1990 and published in 1991 or 1992. It emphasizes a strategic management role for human resources directors versus a personnel administration role. Although some aspects of the book are now out of date (recruitment databases, for example), most of the book is applicable to today's competitive market for top talent in architecture, engineering, and environmental consulting firms.
This book is especially useful for non human-resources management experienced technical people who find themselves responsible for this functional area, or those who want to learn more about it but who have not had any formal training in the area. New HR managers or directors who have just gotten into the A/E/P or environmental industry, coming from some other industry, could also benefit from this text.
