Applied-Hr - K. Thiveanathan - Bog

As a rookie in HR, the author who is an economist by education, was in constant search for formulas and principles to help addressing workplace challenges in managing people. For him, this did not come easy from the books he read. Thus, early-on he started the habit of writing his hard-learned lessons at the workplace, especially on people, performance, leadership and the subtle areas of culture and behaviours.
During his thirty years of working in various regions and with multiple cultures, the author updated his writings and summarized them into easy-to-read short phrases. If career is a long road-trip, "Applied-HR: Sense & Simplicity" is the culmination of his learnings from that long 'road-trip'.
The author shares each of the 200 thoughts and principles in succinct messages, which at times may sound unconventional. The lessons maybe self-evident to some readers while it may evoke different perspectives to others, given their respective experience.
It is hoped that "Applied-HR: Sense & Simplicity" will be a catalyst for HR practitioners, supervisors, business leaders, corporate facilitators, lecturers, undergraduates, and to all those who are keen to explore the subtleties of managing people in a business environment.
