by Wayne Cascio and John Boudreau
Financial Times Press, $39.99

A key responsibility for human resources practitioners is to prove a clear link between their practices and organizational performance. John Boudreau, professor of management and organization at the USC Marshall School of Business and research director at the school’s Center for Effective Organizations, and his co-author present a comprehensive framework for doing just that. They explain how to choose, implement and use metrics to improve decision-making, optimize organizational effectiveness and maximize the value of HR investments so that a company can systematically focus its human resources investments on achieving maximum business value.
