Globalisation and sweeping policy changes have re-defined and re-aligned HR and its role. It is important for HR professionals to develop and become innovators in their respective industries. The Changing Role of the Human Resource Profession in the Asia Pacific Region is based on case-studies of retail, tourism, healthcare, security, education, and energy, spread across the greater Asia Pacific (AP) region. The book rests on the principle of the laws of attraction, that ‘thoughts become things’ and argues that acknowledging good human resource policies and practices can be a key influence on all aspects of an organisation. After an introduction, five chapters cover key topics: six major industries; changing HR practices across the AP; an insider’s view on best practices; the role of HR in sustaining growth across the AP; and a conclusion looking towards the future of HR in the Asian Pacific Region.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cul\u003e     \u003cli\u003eForeword by Dave Ulrich\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eForeword by Peter Cappelli\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eForeword by Prabir Jha\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAcknowledgements\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAbout the author\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e1.
