About this title

Synopsis

Today's dynamic organizations must achieve positive results in record time - a challenge that requires managers to avoid problems before they arise and to solve these issues quickly. Human Performance Improvement (HPI) is a powerful tool that can be used to help build intellectual capital, establish and maintain a 'high-performance workplace, enhance profitability, and encourage productivity' - as well as increase return on equity and improved safety.



This book provides the tools and techniques that are fundamental to the practice of HPI. 'Human Performance Improvement' is all you need to understand and carry out your own HPI plan and is invaluable for trainers, HR practitioners, line managers, workers, college students who are being introduced to Human Performance Improvement principles, and anyone who is interested in improving how well and how much people perform in organizational settings.

'Human Performance Improvement' shows you how to:
* discover and analyze important human performance gaps
* plan for the future improvements in human performance
* design and develop cost-effective and ethically-justifiable interventions to close performance gaps
* analyze trends and their implications for HPI
