Very informative book that provides advice for first time HR Managers. The content also provides a look into the changes that are occurring throughout the workforce in general and specificity to HR.

A simple yet practical guide to people management, recruitment, staying updated with current regulations, taking initiative in HR, employee relations, and more. In my opinion, these are the fundamental practices — though, of course, real-life application is far more challenging.
