High Performers: How the Best Companies Find and Keep Them (Jossey Bass Business & Management Series)

In High Performers Leon Martel--a senior fellow with the prestigious Conference Board--has identified twenty-five organizations from the United States, Europe, and Asia that have been named by the Financial Times and Fortune as the best places to work and are also recognized by the Wall Street Journal as leading financial performers.
Based on extensive research and interviews with senior managers, Leon Martel shows that companies with exceptional practices in core human resource areas produce both superior performance and create an outstanding workplace environment. This much-needed resource shows human resource professionals how to put in place the same winning HR practices that create a workplace environment that attracts and retains high-performing employees.
