Book Description
Drawing on author Charles Reese's 23 years of experience as a safety manager and educator, Occupational Health and Safety Management: A Practical Approach presents a total management approach to a broad range of issues in occupational health and safety. Reese covers every facet of safety and health management with real-world examples and strategies. He provides succinct yet thorough coverage of important and timely concepts and practices commonly used in the safety field. More than just a text filled with information, this is a true how-to book. The author discusses how to write a program, how to identify hazards, and how to involve workers and attain their cooperation. He goes on to explain how to use identification and intervention tools such as hazard hunt, audits, and job hazard analysis. He provides a listing of potential resources, encourages developing a working relationship with OSHA, and how to go about determining which regulations are applicable to you or your employer's workplace and how to find assistance and sources that will help you guide your organization to compliance with OSHA regulations. The book incorporates the development of written programs, the identification of hazards, the mitigation of hazards by use of common safety and health tools, and the development of a safe workforce through communication, motivational techniques, involvement, and training. Covering a wide array of occupational health and safety topics in one cohesive single-authored volume, Occupational Health and Safety Management: A Practical Approach is a blueprint for developing and managing a safety and health initiative tailored exactly to your company's needs.
Product Description
Is your organization using the most effective type of interviewing in your hiring and promotional processes? Selection research results indicate that the most valid type of interview to use is a structured, behavioral interview that is focused on the success related knowledge, skills and personal qualities.
Behavioral Interviewing Guide provides you with a practical step-by-step approach for planning, conducting and evaluating a structured, behavioral interview. Some of the many supporting documents, guides and techniques included in the book are:
Selection criteria definitions, Twenty five pages of categorized behavioral questions, Generic interview guides for both management and non-management positions, Self assessment quiz, and; Generic behavioural background/reference check guide. Also incorporated into the guide are the interviewing best practices of
predetermining selection criteria, using a
team/panel of interviewers, using a
structured guide, using a
quantitative rating scale to evaluate candidates, reaching
consensus evaluations, and completing
behavioral background checks.
The
Behavioral Interview Guide explains how to:
Properly prepare for the interview. Prepare good behavioral questions Conduct the interview. Create a good interview atmosphere. Ask follow-up questions to get a complete answer. Take thorough notes Handle unusual interview situations. Evaluate the candidate's answers. Rating the suitability of candidates. Conduct behavioural background checks.
By using the practices and techniques presented in the
Behavioral Interview Guide you will hire or promote good performers more often. Is it worth it? You bet! Selection research studies indicate good workers can do twice as much work as poor workers. In addition, each year a good worker is with an organization, they contribute a monetary value equivalent in the range of 70% to 140% of their annual salary. Better selection and interviewing practices also significantly reduce the huge monetary and emotional costs associated with hiring or promoting poor performers. Bad decisions, equipment/material damage, accidents, customer complaints, low morale, legal fees, overtime wages and replacement hiring fees are just some of the substantial costs associated with hiring or promoting poor workers.
The behavioral interview is based on the practical assumption that a person's past behavior will predict their future behavior. If a person has demonstrated strong initiative, work standards, ability to learn, judgment, flexibility, honesty, attendance etc. in past positions, they will, in all probability, continue to show the same behavior in future positions. Consequently, the challenge of selection interviewers to ask specific, behavioral questions that will elicit positive and negative examples of a candidate's past behavior relative to the position's critical success competencies. The
Behavioral Interview Guide provides you with hundreds of good behavioral questions to choose from and explains the necessary structure and steps to ensure interview success.
A content outline of the Behavioral Interview Guide follows:
- Essential Selection Interviewing Information

Needs Updating and Reorganization.......2006-06-12
I was forced to use this book to teach an HRMS course in 2006 (Canadian college course). This text is out-of-date and also poorly organized. Additionally, the supporting materials of PPT and end-of-chapter exercises said to be on one of the author's website are of very poor quality. The PPT consist of paragraphs of text copied and pasted from the textbook. This book needs a complete rework if it is to have any significance in today's world. If the book didn't have a Canadian author's name on it I don't think it would be used by a Canadian college. One other note... it's pretty bad when my students tell me at the beginning of the course that the textbook is terrible. Unfortunately I had to bite my tongue.
HRIS guide book.......2003-08-06
This book approach, reviewed in this column a more comprehensive and strategic HR function has recently adopted the term HR Management Systems (HRMS) to reflect the enhanced importance and capabilities of today's IS and IT applications in human resources. Despite the critical role HRMS plays in the HR world, there are relatively few books published to shed light on the topic.
Author delivered an HRMS system is an electronic data and file management system used by organizations to maintain and manage their personnel records, payroll and other HR functions. Often these are large-scale, mainframe systems that require a total IST integration.

Human Resources Management Systems: A Practical Approach.......2000-12-03
By Ray Brillinger Canadian HR Reporter October 23, 2000
The Technology to manage intellectual capital
First, it was e-commerce, then e-business; now, increasingly we see developments and hear about trends in e-HR. While HR Information Systems (HRIS) have been around and evolved over many years for a quick history, see the first chapter in Human Resources Management Systems: A practical approach, reviewed in this column a more comprehensive and strategic HR function has recently adopted the term HR Management Systems (HRMS) to reflect the enhanced importance and capabilities of today's IS and IT applications in human resources. Despite the critical role HRMS plays in the HR world, there are relatively few books published to shed light on the topic. These recent titles will help readers to understand how information is being used in HR today, the technologies and software available to support the needs, how to select and implement systems successfully, and some strategic areas the systems serve including knowledge management and intellectual capitaldevelopment. The selection of an appropriate system is a critical HR managementdecision. However, the authors go beyond the usual examination ofselection criteria and maintenance of an HRMS, to look in-depth at theopportunities to use the HRMS as a critical management tool in theorganization." Co-authors Turnbull and Doran are frequentcontributors to CHRR in areas related to HR technology and informationmanagement. This second edition is updated to reflect newdevelopments, especially Internet use and related applications. Thecoverage and style are also revised to reach an expanded audience: HR and payroll managers, general management and IS professionals as well as college- and university-level teachers and students. The first part of the book describes the background and needs for HRMS, and presents a Return on Investment approach for cost justification and demonstrated value. Next, several chapters take the reader through the stages of planning, designing, implementing and maintaining the system. The last part of the book shows, in detail, how HRMS can support core HR functional areas: *HR planning and development; *Staffing; *Training and development;
*Compensation and payroll; *Benefits and pension programs; and *Occupational health and safety.
Great Overview of HRIS/HRMS.......2000-08-16
This is a terrific book to give anyone an overview of the issues surrounding human resource information systems.
It is clear, concise, and has chapters on every functional area of HR citing examples.
I have found it very useful.

Book Description
Staff developers are presented with an introduction to learning styles, that is, how people learn new or difficult information. When staff development is based on a learning-style approach, the same information is introduced in alternative ways and participants can choose to learn through the resources or approaches most closely matched to their style. The editors have compiled many interesting and practical strategies that presenters in staff development sessions can use to involve participants in experimenting with new ideas. These methods will provide enrichment, resulting in a successful staff development.
