  The need for organizations to identify and develop the skills of their workforces has never been greater. Throughout Europe new practices and approaches are being employed to ensure that the real talents and competencies of employees are fully optimized. This book brings together ideas from various European HRM consultants which illucidate and develop new concepts and approaches to identifying, measuring and achieving appropriate levels of competency. The differing specialisms and cultures of the authors offer a rich and varied approach to the subject. The types of practice focused upon include: performance management and management development; identifying the right skills and qualities for success in today's environment; selecting the best performers and people with the greatest potential; planning to meet individual and organizational needs; appraising performance and skills acquisition; paying for skills - reward and cost-benefit analysis; building the best working environment and collective performance; managing motivation for improved performance; and career and succession planning.
