Dave Ulrich is a master at helping HR folks do the one thing that is so elusive....finding out how to convey your worth to you managment as well as your employees. I've used this book several times in various HR courses I've taught and recommend it as required reading for all HR people, whether you're just considering HR to the seasoned professional. It will help you get better at your job and if you're already at the top of your game, it will help you stay there!

good

An excellent read for all HR professionals!!

Great book with some novel HR ideas to consider.

Great book....Kudos...

I was very impressed as I read this book. First of all it proudly wears the Harvard Business School Press insignia, so that says a lot right there. The book gives valuable examples of strategies and systems that Fortune 100 companies have implemented in their pursuit to greatness, like Hewlett-Packard, Clorox, FedEx, and Motorola. No need to reinvent the wheel, this book has some valuable answers to serious HR strategy questions from a senior HR...and almost a systems engineer perspective. As I read chapters 1 – 2 a light bulb went on as it summed up the “HR Business Partner” role into four categories:

1. Becoming a Strategic Partner
2. Becoming an Administrative Expert
3. Becoming an Employee Champion
4. Becoming a Change Agent

Human Resource Champions is technical. It’s got loads of diagrams, tables, and even self-evaluations and surveys that the reader can use in his/her own organization to determine where it stands in terms of effectiveness and efficiency. So it’s not for the faint-hearted, as it has quite a textbook feel, but for those who really want to strive for HR excellence along side line managers and senior managers alike, I highly recommend it. Every mid-level and senior-level HR manager should own a copy.

Good reading, this is one book you want in your HR library.

This is really a good book
