Reviews / Votes
"The recent turbulent years of change have emphasised even more the importance of people at the centre of business, and the need to align people strategy with business strategy. Linda draws on her extensive experience to provide a timely update to this theme, drawing on contemporary issues, academic research and salient case studies, to bring to life how HR and business leaders need to work together to build sustainable, responsible, and resilient organisations for the future."Peter Cheese, Chief Executive, CIPD, the professional body for HR and people development
