Synopsis
"Many organizations understand the benefits of a longer-term approach to staffing: reduced turnover and hiring costs, improved efficiency and morale, and ultimately greater profits.
Unfortunately, traditional approaches to strategic staffing are often more effective on paper than in the workplace.
This essential book-and-CD-ROM package shows how to identify staffing needs and opportunities through qualitative and quantitative measures, and presents several effective, nontraditional approaches to strategic staffing. Featuring full case studies and dozens of examples, the book is both enlightening and practical. And to help readers create their own staffing plans, the CD-ROM is a trove of invaluable tools, including:
* PowerPoint(TM) slide presentations
* Customizable Excel(TM) spreadsheets
* Assessment and evaluation forms
* Calculations and analyses
* Sample staffing plans, and much more."
