In this eye-opening book, copublished with the Society for Human Resource Management, Ahlrichs explains how employees have become job "buyers," with employers as the job "sellers." Talented people, she says, want more from their jobs than just a paycheck--and if they don't find what they want in one job, they will move on to something else. They are "consumers of the work experience."
MANAGER OF CHOICE describes five critical competencies of human capital management: talent scouting, relationship building, trust building, skill building, and brand building. With worksheets, resource lists, and compelling case studies, Ahlrichs shows managers how to adapt to the changing needs of the contemporary American workforce.
