How to Realize the Potential of your People and your Business

About this book

Develop and leverage the human factor in your workforce and organization to boost individual and business performance. This book explores what the human factor is and how it influences the attraction, performance, retention, growth, productivity and wellbeing of employees. It also explains how focusing on it at all levels of the organization can boost both individual and business performance. It's a roadmap to success for all senior HR professionals, organizational development practitioners, managers and leaders. There is detailed discussion of sustainability, technology, analytics and organizational change, as well as a framework for building a case for change. The book also provides guidance on how to define organizational purpose, develop an effective organizational culture and how to design and execute a people strategy. There is also discussion of human motivation, the role it plays for individuals and leaders and the need for continual improvement of staff at all levels. Written by an expert author team with more than 50 years' experience between them, the book explains why the human factor is so important and how the changing context in which we live and work demands that HR professionals evolve to stay relevant.
