Strategic Staffing- A Practical Toolkit for Workforce Planning Hardcover – 1 July 2002

A great step-by-step guide for the uninitiated. Detailed worked examples and very useful CD with presentation. Cannot commend it highly enough.

Human resources strategist Thomas P. Bechet provides a comprehensive guide to planning your staffing. He includes a CD with PowerPoint slide presentations, adaptable Excel spreadsheets, and assessment and evaluation forms. The book has ample examples and case studies of how to set up staffing, and tons of charts, graphs and formulas. But, you cannot apply his models and practices without this detailed hands-on workbook of his scorecard strategy, where you enter relevant data in a matrix that provides staffing direction. Warning: if your basic assumptions are wrong or if your situation changes quickly, you could take a wrong turn, so proceed carefully. While this is not a fun read - in fact, it can seem convoluted - Bechet's intent is practicality, not recreation. This is a hardcore resource for hiring decision-makers. So we suggest that you pour yourself a stiff cup of coffee, grab a thick notepad and muscle up to the staffing task with serious, strategic intent.
