Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Debbie Glinnan: "My career in Human Resources ('HR') started in 1997. While the first 15 years were spent working for large London-based companies, in 2004 I began working for a local, family-owned hotel. Every decision felt personal to the owners and had a direct impact on the business. With staffing such a huge part of their running costs, they needed good HR practices on a budget. I found it such an enjoyable challenge that in 2012 I set up my own HR Consultancy, specialising in working with smaller businesses. Since then I have met many small business owners who were worried or confused about employing staff. While they had set out with the best intentions of being good employers, for some, things had already gone horribly wrong. Some knew they should be doing more or felt lucky they hadn't found themselves in an Employment Tribunal. Others had concerns with an employee they thought of as a personal friend. What they all had in common was that they were crying out for straight forward help with the basics. Employing good, well-motivated people could be just what you need to take your business forward. The trick is to have the right people, with the right skills, in the right place at the right time. I have earned a reputation for putting good HR practice across in plain English. You won't need a dictionary to read this book. It's designed so you can read it straight through or just pick out the section that matters to you now. Some things may strike you as common sense. Great. You are already on the way to being a good employer. Other things are explained with examples. An example can save a thousand words and I know you're busy. I have also added in lots of tips from over 20 years of practical HR experience. I was there when HR was called Personnel. I get a buzz every time a client says to me "thanks, that's so much clearer now". If you read the book and feel that too, please do leave a review so I know it's all been worthwhile. In the meantime, I wish you every success with your growing business. Happy employing!"
