Nearly two decades ago when he was first appointed to work as an HR director, Stephen M Flynn was faced by a challenge. He had to devise a completely new Human Resources strategy for his employer which would work with and support the organisation's business plans.
All he needed to do, he thought, was to find the books that would help him by telling him what he needed to do. Unfortunately he discovered that, 18 years ago, there was no practical guidebooks on the market that would be able to help him.
But that was then, this is now. And now, based on Stephen's 18 years of hard-won personal and practical experience, such a book now exists.
Stephen has noticed that many organisation's strategies are expressed solely in marketing or financial terms. In some cases, they don't even have a strategy. This means that there are problems with translating this into the plan of the HR department.
This books offers practical advice to HR practitioners and professionals to assist them in creating a HR plan that meshes in with the organisation's business strategy.
He offers several new concepts, including that of "organisational maturity" by which means the HR department and the organisation can translate the strategy of the business inot HR practice.
Readers will be shown how they can identify their organisation's current level of maturity from the pattern of work practices that are evident in their own organisation.
Readers are then guided in various techniques of how to choose suitable PR practices that align with what Stephen describes as: "the organisation's maturity level."
At the end of the book readers will learn how to structure their HR department in such a way as they will be able to deliver the newly-minted HR plan/
This is a highly practical HR guide book by a 36 year veteran in the field, the last two decades at Senior HR Director level.
The book is published by Matador at £14.99.
