Description

Ask any manager today and they will say their biggest concern is the competition for talent, good employees. The business costs and impact of employee turnover can be grouped into four major categories: costs resulting from a person leaving, hiring costs, training costs, and lost productivity costs. The estimated cost to replace an employee is at least 150 percent of the person's base salary. As you can see managers must learn to hire, train, and keep your employees highly motivated. Every organization needs a system for hiring, training and keeping superb employees and that is exactly what you will get from this new book. You will learn to create a workplace full of self-motivated employees who are highly purpose-driven. You will learn the fundamentals of sound hiring, learn how to identify high-performance candidates, and how to spot evasions and even out well lets call it what it is, lies. The book contains a wide assortment of carefully worded questions that help make the process more effective. Innovative step-by-step descriptions of how to recruit, interview, hire, train and KEEP the best people for every position in your organization. The book is filled to the brim with innovative and fun training ideas (that cost little or nothing) and ideas for increasing employee involvement and enthusiasm. When you get your employees involved and enthused you will keep them interested and working with you, not against. With the help of this book get started today on building your work place into one that inspires employees to do excellent work because they really want to! Numerous case studies and examples show how you can create an environment in which employees feel passionate about their jobs.

    • A necessity for any small business owner
`How to Hire, Train, & Keep the Best Employees' is an excellent resource for all small business owners. This book contains all of the vital information you will need to achieve higher employee productivity, better time management for employees and managers, and decreased turnover for your company. Podmoroff's book will also teach you how to effectively advertise for a position, screen potential employees, and motivate employees enough to make them want to stay with your company. All of the information in this book is extremely helpful, but I was most impressed by the samples and templates provided in the book and on the CD-ROM. The book includes sample forms for applications, interview sheets, and orientation outlines to demonstrate the guidelines that Podmoroff explains. The CD-ROM takes things one step further by providing you with printable human resource templates for applications, follow-up letters, and performance analysis forms. Between the book that teaches you all you need to know and the CD-ROM that puts the theories into action, you will be well on your way to running a more productive, less stressful business. On a side note, I was also very happy to see that some of the profits from this book are donated to The Humane Society of the United States. Even if I didn't think that this book is the best of its kind--which I do--I would rather invest my money in the author and publishing company who support a good cause. ... show more

    • not useful for small business or service company
A few things about this book: 1. It is really designed for a larger company or corporation, in a traditional office setting, not useful for small business or service company. 2. The sections about interviewing and applications are "okay". Did not check out the disk with forms. 3. The entire book is filled with typos, kind of funny considering its subject. 4. The worst part about this book, and why in my opinion it sucks is that it pretty much tells you to baby your employees and think about their wants and needs, etc. If you run your company and HR department like this books says, your employees will walk all over you. Really another example of how modern generations feel entitled, this book pretty much says your employees are entitled to do whatever they want and if your reprimand them your a bad boss. Stopped reading it 3/4 of the way through as the bs just got thicker and thicker, went out and reprimanded all of the employees, even those who didn't deserve it just to make me feel better, ... show more

    • Smart, Helpful, Thorough HR Overview
As stated in the title, this book is a practical guide for small business human resource management, from the interview process to sustained and understood team-building techniques. It's thorough, well-organized and easy to digest--a great resource to keep in the top desk drawer for frequent referral. Charts, tables and clear examples add to the book's usefulness as a go-to guide. There are even sample forms you can use for common HR processes! An important element that is often overlooked in the workplace is the motivation and proper evaluation of employees; I liked the tips provided because they emphasize that part of the responsibility of an employee performing well rests with the employer. As someone who has primarily worked for small businesses in the past, I appreciate the consideration of this balance. Most importantly, the book takes into consideration the reader--a busy working professional who is not only meant to read, but also enact the situations given. To that effect, it's broken down into bullets and small paragraphs in concise narrative. The book emphasizes communication strategies (such as listening and negotiation) and certainly takes its own advice, really connecting with the reader throughout. ... show more

    • Best Book
This is quite possibly the best book I have ever read about employee relations. It starts off with how to find the right candidate. How to advertise when there are openings, how to conduct the interview and many more helpful topics. The best part, however, is on how to retain the best employees. It talks about communication problems and how they can inadvertently cause conflict and problems within a business. The author then spends considerable time addressing ways to convey a bad message -such as you screwed up- in a productive way so that the employee doesn't feel bombarded with criticism and can begin working towards a solution. Chapter 3 is a great reference even for communication within personal relationships. The author then goes on to discuss affective leadership and team building. All of these things will go a long way to create a great and productive crew. I especially liked the discussion on proper employee training. The author emphasizes finding the right person to fit into an organization and then training that person on what is expected of them. All too often I've seen people just dumped into positions without even a job description. No one can possibly work effectively that way. The book also comes along with a great CD-ROM which has templates for employee applications, interview questions, a confidentiality agreement and more. ... show more
