This book presents the first ever comprehensive approach to evaluating and redesigning Human Resource Development (HRD) function and intervention to maximise their contribution to business excellence.

The HRD function recognizes the significance of competent and committed people in helping organizations achieve excellence. Studies across the globe have indicated that good HR systems and practices go a long way to make firms effective. Competent employees, top management, HR staff, and the HRD Climate play a critical role. This book examines how users of HRD are partners in any review and evaluation. It uses multiple methods like interviews with stakeholders, observation, questionnaires, analysis of documents and workshops. The book also outlines key HRD audit methodologies to review and rejuvenate HRD and align it with business excellence including intellectual capital building for long term.

An incisive and invigorating read, this book would be useful to the students, researchers, line managers, CEOs, CXOs and faculty of Human Resource Management, Organizational Behaviour and Applied Psychology. It would also be an invaluable handbook for practicing business executives to help them implement the performance management and other talent management systems for leading to excellence.

Industry Reviews

"A unique feature of the book is the HRD Score Card which has been developed and tested by the author. This Score Card can be used to access and benchmark the maturity level of the HRD function in organizations and make them business-driven. Written in a readable and accessible style, this practice-based book includes several cases, examples, illustrations, detailed questionnaires and checklists."

- Business Line

" There is a wide recognition that the HR function can be a key factor in business success and improved organizational performance. Yet, in many organizations, the HR function has either not performed upto expectations or has been unaware of its required role. Hence, a thorough evaluation of the HR function is imperative both to rejuvenate it and to make it more business-driven. HRD audit makes such an evaluation possible by examining the adequacy and appropriateness of the existing HRD systems."

- Financial Express

"The HR function is the next horizon Indian firms are out to conquer. Rao's four parameters for good HR functions-HR linked to business, systems-driven HR, HR values and employee competencies-are today's catchphrases."
