Links

The easy bit. But hopefully just as interesting and stimulating as the rest of the site. As with features, there is a mix of the fun and the serious so hopefully you will find something to engage your curiosity. Check back here often as we hope to add new links on a regular basis.

Brain Food

Here are some links that we think will add value to you as an HR professional. They range from reference to some of the key HR thinkers, to online articles and site references which you will hopefully want to bookmark and reference on an ongoing basis.

HR Law

HR Law

HR Law

An excellent HR reference site provided by the law firm Fox Williams. It’s a great legal resource and well written to boot. You will need to subscribe to get access to the content but its definitively worth it.

HR Thinking

Mark Huselid and Brian Becker

Huselid and Becker have been analysing the value of HR and its impact on the bottom line for years. Collaborating with the likes of David Ulrich they are still pushing the envelope of HR thinking. It’s well worth taking the time to browse through their sites and review some of their articles.

We will be featuring some of their work in the features area also in the coming months so you will get a chance to comment on their views.

HR Information sites



HR Gateway

One of the few UK/European HR sites. It's linked to a consulting operation and a job site but if you register, which is free there is a lot of news and feature content which cover a wide range of subjects. Worth dipping into if you want to see some relevant latest news.

News



FT.com

Mine of information on general business. Lighter and more manageable than the paper and worth a subscription to access some of the archives and news items you can miss.

US Based Sites

Over the next few weeks and months we will be reviewing and featuring several US based sites. Whilst a lot of these lack local relevance, some are very informative and provide an interesting perspective. Please check back for updates:

Society for Human Resources Management

World Federation of Personnel Management Associations
