As the saying goes, a company's greatest resource is its people. When managers really believe that and work to develop organizational capabilities, productivity, sales, and profits can rise dramatically.

In an environment where information, service, and knowledge are primary sources of value creation, workforce strength is central to securing prosperity. Written by practitioners for practitioners, Building Workforce Strength: Creating Value through Workforce and Career Development bridges the disciplines of organization and individual development, showing those charged with organizational progress why workforce strength is a key component of prosperity---and how it can be achieved.

This hands-on volume is organized in three sections that establish a foundation for workforce and career development, explore implementation in organizations, and examine that process's implications for working with individuals. Showcasing workforce and career development practices and systems for both represented and nonrepresented populations, it provides a framework, techniques, and examples that will guide approaches to building workforce strength. Applications of workforce and career development, principles in a variety of sectors, such as healthcare and high technology, offer tangible examples of these principles in practice.
