The Global Human Resources Outsourcing (GHRO) team is sharing some hard-won business insights directly from the source.

 ”A Practical Guide to Human Resources Management” is a 266-page guidebook to the intricacies of the world of employment from Jeff Stinson, founder and president of Global Human Resources Outsourcing (GHRO).

Over the course of the next two months we will be excerpting chapters of Jeff Stinson’s guidebook in this blog.

A Practical Guide to Human Resources Management

Leading people in today’s complex world is a challenging activity.  There are regulations, unions, lawyers and more to deal with on a daily basis.

“A Practical Guide to Human Resources Management” is written by a longtime human resources consultant.  This guidebook helps you develop your leadership skills so that you can:

• Recruit qualified applicants.
• Interview candidates with confidence.
• Hire the right people.
• Train new employees and keep the best performers.
• Deal with unions.
• Stay out of court.

In addition to the basics, you’ll learn how to respond to employment situations that could catch you off guard.

For instance, what do you do if your best employee tells you that he or she is leaving to join a competitor?

What if one of your employees takes a public stand against one of your policies?

What if someone you fire for theft hires a lawyer who sends you a nasty letter?

Other textbooks on human resources management focus on theories and statistics, but “A Practical Guide to Human Resources Management” provides real-life examples to help you handle any situation with leadership that inspires confidence.
