In this often unexamined story of the new American work ethic and why the U.S. will remain a future global force, Partnership HR demonstrates the innate ability of today's workforce to do whatever it takes to catch up, keep up, and get ahead. Author Irving Buchen challenges organizational leaders and human resource professionals alike to make changes in traditional HR functions as he documents the ingenuity and creativity of the workforce in the U.S.; explores ways to develop more effective work cultures; and uses best-practice case examples from successful companies to serve as new models for future practice.
