Also included are “Lessons from the Trenches” vignettes presenting instructive and personal advice; 17 sample forms such as an “Application for Employment to Employee Counseling,” and an “Accident Investigation”; and 23 figures illustrating everything from “Factors Posing a Threat to Employee Retention” to “Types of Health Benefits Offered by Employers.” FAQs throughout the text relate advice from experienced HR consultants and practitioners.
