The Big Book of HR was interesting and fact-filled. It was well-written and contained a good deal of the information I was looking for.

I'm not crazy by this book. Sure a few helpful informations, but definetely not "Bible of HR".

I really like examples from real companies.

Wanted a overview of what it is that HR does, and better understand how they strengthen the company. This book does just that, and the audiobook version allowed me to do that with found time.

It's sad how much of HR is posistioning so you can better defend yourself when the lawsuits come.

The Big Book of HR provides a complete overview of human resources. It covers topics including recruiting, compensation, benefits, employee performance development, technology, and potential impact.

That's the dry account.

The rich account is this: The Big Book of HR provides some terrific insight into the day-to-day responsibilities in an HR office. The book examines concepts, includes definitions, has links to resources, and ends each chapter with discussion questions.

It covers a lot of ground.

The drawback for such a great book is that it's in print. Links will quickly become outdated. Social media strategies will change. Laws will change.

But that's life.

I would highly recommend this book for anyone just starting out in HR, is thinking about HR, or would like some ideas for alternative thoughts and ideas.

**I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher. I was not paid for this review. Views and endorsement are my own.
