HUMAN RESOURCE MGMT SG (VOL D)

'This HR management series is timely. It is written in the Singapore context guided by our local employment laws and tripartite guidelines and standards. I commend the authors for their endeavour to produce such a first.'

Human Resource Management in Singapore — The Complete Guide covers a wide spectrum of human resource management topics in five volumes: Employment Management, Work and Remuneration, Employee Benefits, Performance and Development, and Employee Conduct and Relations. In every chapter, the WHY, WHAT and HOW are presented lucidly. The books are a must-have GPS for any human resource practitioner in Singapore. Students, academics and bosses into human resource management as well as overseas human resource practitioners will also find the books helpful and instructive.

Volume D on Performance and Development covers different aspects of performance management: performance planning and goals setting, performance feedback and coaching, performance appraisal and moderation and dealing with weak performers. Challenges faced by organisations in making performance management decisions are candidly put on the spotlight. Realistic options and solutions are suggested. Ultimately, organisations must select and adapt features and processes that serve their strategic purpose in driving performance and measuring and differentiating the performance of their employees. Volume D also explains various categories of competencies and how the competency framework can be harnessed to improve recruitment selection, people development and career management. Employee training and employee development are discussed.
