Quatrième de couverture
Attracting and retaining talented people is the key to any organization's success. Every organization needs to continually improve its ability to attract, develop, motivate, organize, and retain the workforce needed to accomplish its strategic business objectives. The People Capability Maturity Model® (People CMM®) is a framework for successfully addressing strategic workforce issues. This framework, as documented in this authoritative book, is a guide to help organizations achieve the following:
- Establish an integrated system of workforce practices that is aligned with current and future business objectives
- Characterize the maturity of workforce practices
- Guide a program of continuous workforce development
- Set priorities for improvement actions
- Integrate workforce development with process improvement
- Become an employer of choice
After describing the rationale and evolution of the People CMM, the book details the model, which describes practices for the following:
- Improving individual capability
- Developing effective work groups and organizational culture
- Motivating, managing, and quantifying performance
- Shaping the workforce to meet current and future organizational needs
Case studies provide proof that implementation of the People CMM leads to effective, repeatable, and lasting success in developing a workforce that is able to effectively execute an organization's business.
