About the Book

Develop and leverage the human factor in your workforce and organization to boost individual and business performance.

It also explains how focusing on it at all levels of the organization can boost both individual and business performance. It's a roadmap to success for all senior HR professionals, organizational development practitioners, managers and leaders.
