Among the areas covered in depth are: * Hiring * Training * Leadership Development * Health and Wellness * Absenteeism * Retention * Employee Engagement Readers will master crucial foundational principles such as risk, return, and economies of scale and use them to evaluate investments objectively in everything from work/life programs to training.
