Why you should read Beyond HR
John W. Boudreau and Peter M. Ramstad say that companies need to transform their human resource (HR) function into a strategic resource, and compete for talent using HR as a “decision science.” The tactical skill they call “talentship” is a management approach that enables firms to understand the strategic nature of their employee base and to build value through the way they handle people. Using their human capital decision-making framework (“HC BRidge”) and examples from companies as diverse as Disney, McDonalds, Boeing and Williams-Sonoma, they explain that leaders inside and outside of HR must be aware of their competitive talent “pivot points.” Though on the dry side, this targeted book will give you a more energetic vision of what HR can become. getAbstract recommends it to HR professionals who want a practical, actionable framework for implementing talent-oriented ideas.
