People Working is about how managers and human resource practitioners can help people realize the potential they bring to the organizations that employ them - creating workplaces that are safe, welcoming and engaging, and work that is meaningful and rewarding. It's also about how human resource policies and practices are affected by organizational culture and management, either helping or hindering employees as they carry out their work. People Working examines a number of human resource practices including culture and structure, training and development, diversity and inclusion, performance management, alternate work arrangements, and compensation, and their effect on organizations, work groups, and employee engagement. To illustrate how these practices play out in a workplace, People Working includes a fictional story about an HR manager and her colleagues, and the challenges that confronted them and actions they took to save an industrial plant and the jobs of the people who work there.
