Review

"The book is well organized and flows easily as the concepts of each chapter are introduced. The reader is able to go directly to the content about which he or she needs additional information, resources, or another point of view." --AORN Journal

From the Back Cover

With The Everything HR Kit, whether you are a newcomer or a veteran, you can set up a stellar HR department from scratch. Packed with ready-to-go checklists, sample brochures, job descriptions, customizable forms, interview questions, performance review templates, and more, this one-stop book/ CD combo puts tons of best practices at your fingertips—all instantly accessible and easy to implement.

The book gets right to the heart of HR, and the heart of any successful business—your people. It avoids the theory, jargon, and over-analysis to bring you the core strategies and essential knowledge you need to bring quality people on board, for good, such as reputation, recruitment, selection, on-boarding, employee relations, and performance management. You'll learn how to:

• Create a powerful recruitment brochure that lures great people

• Set up "bird dog" bonuses to make everyone in your circle of influence a recruiter all the time

• Ask probing questions that pinpoint a candidate's communication style, problem-solving style, stress behaviors, and coaching style

• Steer clear of illegal or problematic interview questions, and adhere to crucial labor laws

• Match the right people to the right jobs using proven instruments like the Role Behavior Analysis combined with the Personal Profile System

• Design a benefits package that works best for your organization and its people

• Prepare an "out-of-the-box" employee handbook that instills values and makes a great first impression—plus much more

5Absolutely essential for anyone in HR!
By Nancy Furbee
This resource should sit on every HR professional's desk. Seriously.

The material contained within is absolutely essential for anyone in HR! The past twenty years of my HR career would have been much easier with this handy resource at my side! I'm so glad to have found "The Everything HR Kit"!

In today's world, information can be found doing a "simple" on-line search; however, that "simple search" often turns into an unbelievably cumbersome project. THIS book will give you a great base of knowledge when answering questions, providing strategic direction, and refreshing your knowledge of key HR laws.

(If you don't have an HR department, keep "The Everything HR Kit" on YOUR desk!)

Thank you, Baker and Putzier!

4Useful tool kit
By Satrinab
This is an excellent product with some very useful templates for just about everything a HR practitioner could want. Although many of the templates can be created with a bit of thought by an experienced practitioner this book and CD simply saves so much time. There is some American content that is irrelevant in the Australian context but despite this it is still excellent value for money.
