Applying Critical Evaluation draws from existing thought leadership
and real-life examples to provide ready-to-use recommendations HR
professionals can incorporate in nearly every aspect of the job -- from
selecting an HRIS and identifying training programs to developing an
onboarding process and proposing organizational restructuring. Written
especially for HR professionals in small businesses and HR departments
of one, Applying Critical Evaluation highlights best practices for
interpreting and promoting findings to better inform business decisions.
Featuring tools, worksheets, case studies, and assessments that can be
used immediately and applied every day, it is a resource HR
professionals will regularly consult.
"Applying Critical Evaluation lives up to its name and more. Currence
shows how evaluation must evolve from traditional smile sheets and tests
to efforts that truly connect HR with business results and strategy.
Please read and apply its tools and recommendations to become a true
strategic business partner!" --Jim Kirkpatrick, Ph.D., author of
Kirkpatrick's Four Levels of Training Evaluation and Training on
Trial
"Full of smart, practical information you can use every day, Applying
Critical Evaluation is a book you'll pull from your professional
bookshelf and consult time and time again." --Susan Craft, MS, SHRM-SCP,
SPHR, GPHR, consultant, adjunct professor, and president emeritus of the
Virginia SHRM State Council
"This is a fresh look at what I do every day as an HR director. It
reminded me of concepts that I had forgotten and ones that were new to
me even after 15 years in HR. This is a great 'handbook' for the small
business HR professional in any company." --DaNell D'Alfonso, SPHR,
Senior HR Director, Lime Fresh Mexican Grill
