About the Book:
This guide to High Performance Work Systems (HPWS) details the steps involved in forming work groups, assessing needs, setting goals, implementing strategies, and measuring results. Written for those who want to maximize employee potential, the text uses histories and informative examples to describe the extraordinary impact of HPWS on earnings and customer satisfaction.
Review:
Very technical but ultimately very motivational. In order to make the most of this system, a careful reading is required. The major take-aways for me were, if systems are installed then they need to be followed or they won't be effective. Also, that staff requires constant follow up or they will allow reports and other assignments to grow inaccurate and ineffective.
