CSR for HR (our first book collaboration...)

We're proud to have collaborated with the amazing Elaine Cohen of Beyond Business (check out her website here).
This book goes even further and proposes that the HR function has a responsibility to be proactive in leading the way in establishing a company-wide CSR-enabled culture. And, yet, this is not happening. HR managers are preoccupied with their traditional roles of organisational development, recruitment, training and compensation, and are failing to see the opportunities that CSR brings for them as professionals and for their organisations.

CSR for HR has been designed to change the game. It provides HR managers with a thorough understanding of the drivers and principles of CSR and a practical step-by-step guide to the way CSR interfaces with every HR function. Recruitment, compensation, training, employee communications, employee well-being, health & safety, employee rights, involvement in the community, and employee impacts on the environment are all discussed from the CSR–HR standpoint, with many clear examples showing how HR can leverage CSR strategies to deliver greater benefit for the business, for employees, for society, for the environment and, ultimately, for HR professionals themselves.
Here's some more information about the book and where to find it.
Here's a fun presentation Elaine put together covering some of the topics in the book.

I have to get this book right away! I have for some time now been puzzled why the HR and OD professionals have not seen that CSR is very much in their domain- and visa-versa that CSR and Community Relations directors do not communicate with HR on these matters.
Congratulations-I hope this book is read by a lot of the HR folks.

Hey Lalia, thanks for your good words. We're pretty excited to see it being passed around and read.

I think you're right, there is a ton of room for CSR in the discussions/plans/thinking of HR and OD professionals. There are great examples of where the integration is happening, but plenty of new opportunities.

Cheers!
