“Every manager is a human resource manager.”
How do businesses succeed in today’s competitive environment? The employees of an organization, their enthusiasm and satisfaction with their jobs, their experience, and their sense of fair treatment all contribute to a firm’s overall success and survival. In short, people make the difference.
Whether you go on to become an HR specialist, or a manager in some other functional business area, dealing with people is a fact of organizational life. That’s why we’ve based our book on the premise that every manager is a human resource manager.
