An informative HR guide for frontline managers

In this age of restructuring, downsizing, cost-cutting and restless employees, frontline managers have to handle tasks normally performed by the human resources (HR) department. The problem is that many managers aren't trained or prepared to assume these responsibilities. This situation is also unsettling for HR personnel, who see their traditional functions shifted to other departments. Jeffrey Hornsby and Donald Kuratko believe this dilemma can be resolved if HR professionals help managers master HR functions, and thus make HR relevant to a company's overall strategic planning. The result is more qualified line managers and purpose-driven HR personnel. We recommend this dry yet informative book to any individual or organization facing a similar workplace predicament.
