This volume gives comprehensive coverage to focuses for and practices of HRD, from a distinguished collection of contributors, representing excellence in this field. This makes it an excellent and necessary text for students of, practitioners in and scholars of HRD.
So much has changed in the last 10 years and the diverse collection of authors and chapters assembled here meet the resulting challenge to our field. In addition to updated foundational chapters, Rocco, Morris, and Poell’s team offer insights on technology, incivility, diversity, analytics, and more. This volume is a must have for updating the professional expertise of academics and practitioners alike.
Given the relentless pace of change in the world of work, the importance and status of human resource development is on the rise and its centrality to the delivery of organizational and societal objectives is without doubt. In the Sage Handbook of Human Resource Development Tonette Rocco, Lane Morris, and Rob Poell assemble leading global contributors to map the current contours of the field and chart the key questions which we should consider in moving the field forward.
I know of no single resource that rivals the Handbook for covering both the breadth and depth of the HRD field. Its editors and authors are to be congratulated. The Handbook truly constitutes a ‘one stop shop’ for developing an understanding all things HRD.
The Handbook features the perspectives of well-known established and emerging HRD scholars from around the world. It provides a comprehensive review of HRD including its foundations, current trends, practices, and research findings shaping the discipline as well as emerging issues influencing its future. As a result, it is a “must-read” for HRD academics, practitioners, and students.
