Human Resources Kit For Dummies 1st Edition

I'm surprised by the poor reviews this book has received. Honestly.The book is a FOR DUMMIES book -- meaning you probably don't know much about the subject and are most likely looking for a basic overview, not in-depth information with case studies, etc. Yikes!This is a great book for someone new to HR, like myself. It covers a little of everything which makes it easy to at least identify the topics/lingo. There are also references in the book, so you can go out and find the in-depth coverage you want.If you're looking for a book to tell you exactly how to run an entire HR dept., look elsewhere. This book isn't called "Everything Under The Sun about HR" Its a for dummies book, a great starter book.I just recently took a SHRM class, a basic all-around new-to-HR class, and found that the For Dummies book covered 80% of the info I learned in the class and textbook (and even more).Bottom line: if you're new to HR and want to start learning, this book is a GREAT place to start, truly. If you're already an HR professional, you'd probably do better with more specific books on the topics you're looking for.

I'm new to the HR role and this book is proving to be a very good source of information. It's written in a direct and easy to understand format. The CD ROM included has a lot of great forms.

Ok, but seriously to be in Human Resources you have to go to school for it!

Lame.. Googling any question is better than this
