Managing Performance through Training and Development

by Saks/Haccoun, Robert R Haccoun

Organizations are challenged to provide training and development programs in order to equip their employees with the knowledge, skills, abilities and attitudes to be productive and innovative. These are critical factors to an organization’s ability to be innovative, evolve, and stay competitive. Managing Performance through Training and Development provides comprehensive and current coverage of training approaches in practice by successful organizations today. The seventh edition reflects the advances in both science and practice, including the use of technology, gamification, and social media, all of which help bridge the gap between theory and application, providing students with relevant and real examples.

I enjoyed how this text book referred back to previous chapters when they mentioned topics again in later chapters. I also enjoyed how thorough the information was in this textbook. It was really helpful with implementing training into my workplace. I felt the information at the end of each chapter really solidified the information taught in the chapter. I’ve read a lot of text books and I believe the editing in this one was done really well.

As a textbook, in my opinion, this book could be considerably condensed. A lot of the information is repeated over and over, just in different words, which gets annoying. Many of the ideas are abstract concepts and hard to apply to real life without being given solid examples.

Essential book for the HR, Training and Development, Organizational Development, or management professional.
