	A Handbook of Human Resource Management Practice Michael Armstrong Reader Review - Before such workplace innovations as e-mail and microwaves in the staff rooms, there were personnel departments who placed job adverts, dutifully sorted applications and passed round the odd memo on staff incentive schemes. Today we have HR divisions, as business finally realises that its best resource is the human element of its organisation. This book is a complete manual for the new breed of manager who sees staff as something more than numbers on the payroll. Everything you need to develop strategies for recruiting, training and motivating staff is here. From the job description to the golden handshake.

	Loyalty Rules! Frederick Reichheld Book Description In this provocative yet practical new book, Fred Reichheld argues that loyalty provides the acid test for leadership in today’s volatile business environment, and that most leaders deserve failing grades. In fact, the author is quick to highlight that less than half of today’s employees believe their company deserves their loyalty. Reichheld’s 1996 international bestseller, The Loyalty Effect, set out his theory and convincingly established the link between loyalty and bottom-line profits.
