Law Firm Human Resources: HR Professionals on Offering Competitive Benefits and Compensation, Developing Effective Recruiting Strategies, and Evaluating Employee Satisfaction (Inside the Minds)

Law Firm Human Resources is an authoritative, insider's perspective on the best practices for successful law firm human resources and recruiting strategies. Featuring human resources directors from some of the nation's leading firms, these experts guide the reader through the responsibilities of the HR executive, including benefits administration, compensation, recruiting, and training, and what makes these responsibilities unique in the law firm setting. From cultivating relationships with partners to improving visibility throughout the firm, these authors explain all aspects of the role human resources plays in recruiting and developing talent, creating competitive compensation packages, and ensuring that safety and government compliance concerns are met. Additionally, these leaders reveal their advice for general problem solving, compromise, negotiation, and mediation with regard to internal firm conflicts. The different niches represented and the breadth of perspectives presented enable readers to get inside some of the great minds of today, as these experts identify what it takes to manage human capital in the legal services industry.

Inside the Minds provides readers with proven business intelligence from C-Level executives (Chairman, CEO, CFO, CMO, Partner) from the world's most respected companies nationwide, rather than third-party accounts from unknown authors and analysts. Each chapter is comparable to an essay/thought leadership piece and is a future-oriented look at where an industry, profession, or topic is headed and the most important issues for the future. Through an exhaustive selection process, each author was hand-picked by the Inside the Minds editorial board to author a chapter for this book.
