rebecca Lawlor: Although it’s written from an American perspective the ideas still translate for Irish readers. Some examples might not fit but it terms if giving a general sense of where to start in different situations it’s worth it.

AG WATFORD: Well written, some parts are interesting, and obviously popular in 10th edition in 2019, but this is a US book written by US expert about American employment and HR. My fault as I didn't read the detail properly before buying. Luckily I also purchased an HR FUNDEMENTALS book with a purple cover which is UK based and so much more useful in the United Kingdom.

Dbestia: Good book if you are new to the subject. I personally didnt get a lot out of it. There is also a lot of information that is good if you live in the USA. If you live anywhere else you will not be able to use it because its not applicable.

Ann P Novak: Sharon and Barbara’s book, “The Essential HR Handbook,” is a gift to HR professionals. It’s an interesting, fluid read and provides the details and resources to run an HR Department--handling the hundreds of balls in the air daily which HR professionals face. As an HR consultant, it’s a constant resource in dealing with my clients—from developing an HR Strategy to tools to attract the best talent and retain it, including an attractive and competitive benefits and compensation package through current trends in the workplace including social media. They have captured the basics and provided a path to resolve HR issues.

Amazon Customer: From an HR perspective, I have found this book to be a great addition to my reference materials. It is equally useful for anyone who is a manager needing up-to-date information on both best HR practices and current laws. It is easy to read and organized so you can quickly get to the information you need. I highly recommend it. Sharon Armstrong and Barbara Mitchell have done an excellent job.
