Review Quotes

"Every few years, an article pops up in the press or a well-respected journal that calls into question the value of HR as a function. And while meant to be provocative, these analyses are often based on limited data. The next time one of these emerges and ruffles your feathers of your leadership team, turn to a copy of Global Trends in HR Management: A Twenty-Year Analysis . . . [The book] offers a compelling set of data and insights for the HR professional . . . [M]ore of a comprehensive research report, it has been put together in a way that is highly accessible, easy to use, and most of all, incredibly relevant."--Allan H. Church, People & Strategy
