Required Reading for HR Professionals

Are you exhausted navigating the seemingly impenetrable maze of employee relations, law, and individual differences that divide us and keep our organizational cultures stuck in the mud?  In Attempts, Rodney Klein distills over thirty-years of experience in workplace civil rights into fifty-one short essays which are part practical guide for human resources practitioners, part meditation on what it means to work with people, and part memoir of a person shaped by the lessons he has learned along the way.  You will find perspectives on workplace investigations, ADA, age, race, change, organizational practice, and the difficulties of working with others.  You will also read a story about a personal journey which doesn’t always lead to easy answers, simple themes or foolproof plans.  Just experience and reflection and the conviction that the work of civil rights cannot be separated from the individual.  This book is a thought-starter for human resources professionals who are willing to pick up its threads and carry them forward.
