About 6 months ago I started using this book, "It Depends", as an HR engagement / development tool with our HR team. Every 6-8 weeks we go through one of the scenarios as a team, and it's been really great to not only spur on discussion and teamwork but, it has also allowed us to get on the same page with how our organization approaches each scenario. There is always an element of organizational context/awareness and it has been really valuable as a group to go through these scenarios together.
Really valuable book and tool for an HR team!

Amazing!
Angela Champ’s book “It Depends” is a very practical compilation of Employee Relations case studies. I have been using it for my sessions with my HR mentor, and we have been thoroughly enjoying it. During each session, we would pick one case study and have a discussion, comparing our answers and challenging each others’ viewpoints. I had lots of fun while learning a lot!
Angela’s book is also great for team building, book clubs and round table events. I’ve had the pleasure of co-organizing and co-hosting two round table events where we discussed two to three cases in smaller groups and then as one large group. Angela was instrumental in leading the conversation by asking additional questions and adding some further comments to spark everyone’s curiosity and engagement. The feedback from participants was overwhelmingly positive.
I would highly suggest “It Depends” to anyone who wants to learn or teach others about Employee Relations!

What an incredible tool.
I love the fact that discussion questions are included with the case studies because this creates a framework for newer HR professionals like myself to run through.
I also believe this creates space to promote collaboration amongst HR peers from different organizations as they sharpen their ER skills.
Lastly, I feel like this is applicable now and would've been an incredible book for school assignments.

Though it's a thought provoking book, out was not for me.
