Supporting Quotes

  • Dr. Peter Cappelli, George W. Taylor Professor of Management, Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania
    "An overall theme from the chapters in this book is that human resources at the top level is very much a strategy function. By that we mean a function where there are choices, many of which are new, and those choices have real consequences. One of the most fundamental of these is simply how will we get our work done? Do we need employees at all, should we be using contractors, or should we outsource it altogether? Such fundamental questions were never part of the traditional HR agenda, but they are now. And if you want to know how to answer them, read this book."
  • David Shadovitz, editor, Human Resource Executive
    "There's no question investing in the workforce will lead to better returns down the road. What's less clear is the form that investment should take to maximize results. In this insightful and thought-provoking anthology, the contributors — all well-respected HR thought leaders you're likely to recognize — succeed in going beyond the theory and providing readers with insightful and practical advice on the key HR issues that matter most to businesses today."
  • Jim Wiggett, CEO, Jackson Hole Group, LLC
    "This book provides a comprehensive look at a segment of the workforce long missed by most management books. Its combination of practical guidance and artful advice make this an important read for frontline supervisors and management alike. The real power of the book is to take this knowledge and bring it home to your own business."
  • Michael H. Mitchell, president, GreenLight Management Inc.
    "An insightful and practical compilation of frontline management experiences ideally suited to leaders looking to capture the enormous performance potential of the front line worker. Having participated in reengineering several frontline workforces at some of the finest companies in the world, I can attest to the quality and value that this anthology presents. Well done!"
  • Joyce Maroney, director, The Workforce Institute at Kronos
    "With this anthology, The Workforce Institute at Kronos set out to provide solid and actionable people management advice and tackle a number of important subjects specific to the application of technology to workforce management. The result is a book focused on workforce productivity, as well as on making the workplace a more employee-friendly and engaging place to be."
