Human Resources Books discussion

Would you please say a few words by way of introduction (including whether you are interested in HR, studying HR,work in HR or write in HR).

Welcome all those interested in HR! This group is open to all.

I am both a student of HR and work in HR. Looking forward to meeting anyone interested in discussing this important area!

Hi, my name is Jessica. I currently work at an NYC independent school as their HR Manager and am getting my Masters in Industrial and Labor Relations at Baruch College.

I look forward to our discussions and input on various HR topics.

Welcome Jessica! Feel free to start a discussion on any area that interests you!

Hello - I'm Svetlana Kouznetsova (or Sveta for short). I'm an independent consultant, author, speaker. I joined the group because I wrote a book that may be useful to HR professionals when it comes to interviewing, hiring, and keeping employees with disabilities and learning how to better accommodate them. HR professionals and business owners are among market targets of my book. Not only I'm an expert on the topic, but I also have hearing loss myself and have had to educate HR and EEO directors at organizations I worked for and consulted for.

You can check it out on http://audio-accessibility.com/book.

Welcome Svetlana and thanks for sharing a few details about your book with us.

Greetings all, and Happy New Year. I just discovered this group. I am looking forward to discussing the latest HR books with you all. I am an HR practitioner of sorts and am working toward a Masters in HRM. Nice to meet you!

Hi Jason - welcome! It would be great to have some more discussions - things have been a bit slow of late. Feel free to suggest a book or topic you would like to discuss.

Dominic,

I would love to suggest a book to discuss. I'll pick one and start a thread later this week. Thanks for the suggestion.

Jason

Hi there,

I'm not IN HR, but have run my own companies, so am very interested in the concept of organisations and productivity.

The best book i've read in this area is called Deep Work, by Cal Newport, anyone read that, would be interesting to hear HR professionals point of view.

It partly inspired some of the book I've written, which also has a perspective on organisational theory, but that's a whole other story.


Good to meet you all

Sam

Thanks Sam - good to meet you too. Haven't read that one myself.

Welcome!

Hi all! I recently wrote my first book: Perfect Hire Blueprint. The process outlined in the book was developed over many years of hiring for small-medium sized businesses. I'm currently running a Goodreads giveaway and looking forward to participating in this group.
