Regardless of the economic environment, it is always challenging to assemble a capable, well-functioning workforce — and even harder to maintain one. Finding, hiring, motivating, coaching, disciplining, and developing employees is always a top priority for most businesses.

While establishing a well-functioning staff may not appear straightforward, it is a linear process. From hiring, and through orientation and development, you have the ability to select and nurture employees to closely fit your company’s culture and performance requirements. Of course, at any given time you have employees who are at different stages along this linear process — from the yet-to-be-hired unknown candidate to the seasoned, high-performing veteran, and every stage in between. This process is complex, as you must rely upon the skills and intuition of hiring managers — each of whom have their own management challenges and varying positions along the developmental continuum.

Inevitably, though, human resources management is a process — a process that can be effectively and productively managed. Employee Management for Small Business provides philosophy for effectively managing your investment in human resources. It contains practical information (human resources forms, useful checklists, tables, and discussion of important legal issues) to help guide you through every stage of the employee development cycle. Anyone who manages people will find this book to be an invaluable and comprehensive resource, whether they manage 1, 100, or 1,000 employees.
