Product Description
Many organizations understand the benefits of a longer-term approach to staffing: reduced turnover and hiring costs, improved efficiency and morale, and ultimately greater profits. Unfortunately, traditional approaches to staffing are often more effective on paper than in the workplace. Completely updated, this new edition of Strategic Staffing shows how to identify staffing needs and opportunities through qualitative and quantitative measures, and presents several effective, nontraditional approaches to their hiring needs. Featuring full case studies and dozens of examples, the book is both enlightening and practical. And to help readers create their own staffing plans, the online forms offer a trove of invaluable tools, including: customizable Excel spread sheets assessment and evaluation forms * calculations and analyses * sample staffing plans, Powerpoint slide presentations, and much more. This book is a detailed, process-oriented guide that offers all the tools staffing professionals need.

Good, but can be tedious, 2008-07-18
This book is packed with good information and it's one of the better books out there for helping someone understand the strategic staffing/workforce planning process. But, it's also tedious. I've been working my way through it for weeks now and I just can't seem to get through it (and, it's not even that large of a book!). The author could trim 25% of the book's heft and the result would be a better, more streamlined read. For example, the early chapters continually reiterate the same points and the author has a frustrating habit of describing a particular technique in detail only to tell you that it is the wrong way to do it at the end. Since I've been taking notes througout, this is particulary irritating because I have to unlearn what I've just read. While in can empathize with the author - the topic is far from a sexy one - the prose just lulls me to sleep.
That's too bad, because the author has great advice and offers a lot of effective tools for performing, step-by-step, the strategic staffing process.
