The Irish Employee Recruitment Handbook - Finding and Keeping a High Quality Workforce
Oak Tree Press , May 1999, Pages: 758
The Irish labour market has changed dramatically over the last decade of the twentieth century. Gone are the days of massive unemployment and ‘too many people chasing too few jobs’, and today many industries are finding it hard to source and retail a high quality workforce. A new form of competition has emerged, as companies find themselves vying with their rivals to attract and retain the most highly skilled employees. These labour shortages have meant that these organisations have had to rethink their human resource strategies, particularly in the area of recruitment.
The Irish Employee Recruitment Handbook: Finding and Keeping a High Quality Workforce brings together all the issues that face human resource practitioners in this competitive environment. Taking a practical, accessible perspective, the handbook looks at the latest developments and the key techniques that HR managers must have at their fingertips if they are to continue to employee ‘the best people’
The handbook is divided into 6 parts. Part One sets the context, examining the unique situation in the Irish market, and focusing on the all-important knowledge worker as a lynchpin of human resource management. Part Two looks at the recruitment process itself, surveying the most effective techniques in the areas of advertising, screening, selection interviewing and other assessment methods, and the necessity of integrating new employees into the organisation.
Performance management, the subject of Part Three, covers training, management development, performance appraisal, and coaching and mentoring – all essential to ensuring that the knowledge worker, once recruited, continues to add value to the organisation.
Part Four focuses on establishing and maintaining good relations, creating the environment that encourages high quality employees to stay. It looks at rewards, communication, disciplinary and grievance issues, the use of negotiations and the emergence of employee partnership arrangements. Part Five examines some of the legal issues involved in employee contracts, rights, trade unions and equality. Finally, Part Six covers two aspects of employee welfare: family issues and health and safety.
Sponsored by the Institute of Personnel and Development, The Irish Recruitment Handbook is written by practitioners with vast experience of human resource management, alongside the leading academics in the area. It is an essential resource for anybody who needs to attract and retain a high quality workforce to remain competitive.
