Human Resources with Compassion

For the HR practitioner who has wondered whether her role can be both faithful to the institution and faithful to the people the institution affects.Human Resources with Compassion is the fourth volume in Stephanie Salinas's Stories of Faith at Work series - books for the working Christian.This volume tells ten extended stories of HR practitioners navigating situations where compassion and policy come into tension: - The termination that needed more care than procedure required- The accommodation the manual did not anticipate- The investigation that uncovered something heavier than the original complaint- The employee whose life was falling apart in ways the institution had no structure for- The compassion that survives the cumulative weight of difficult conversations across yearsEach chapter follows a different practitioner through a specific situation, then offers Lessons Learned, a Biblical Reflection, and a Practical Application.The stories are fictional composites drawn from the real work HR practitioners do every week.For the HR practitioner who has not become the cynical version of herself that the work could have produced, and who wants to walk her career in dependence on the One who has Himself dealt with His servants in compassion.
