"This book provides excellent insight into the exciting new thinking behind the creation of one of the most successful business process outsourcer (BPO) companies that has been created in the last five years." "This is a really good book! I recommend it as a must-read for anyone considering HR outsourcing as well as any venture capital firm considering a BPO investment." "Faced with a real threat of living in the past, this is a collection of stories about creating a new HR future with innovation, spirit, and focus. Every HR leader can see themselves, learn from the events, and test their convictions. Whether you believe in HR outsourcing or not, the journey iscompelling." "HR can only excel if it is able to balance the strategic and the transactional agenda. Without transactional excellence HR does not deserve its seat at the table; without offering strategic value the job is less than half done. The HR profession as well as the line managers, who understand the role HR can play, can be grateful to the authors, who are holding up the mirror so that we can reflect on how to make the work of HR more supportive of the business agenda." |
