HR professionals and would-be pros will want to acquire and keep these industry-specific 'Business Literacy for HR Professionals' guides close at hand: they cover some essential topics in depth, outlining key concepts, strategies, and procedures. The Essentials Of Negotiation (1591395-747) covers preparation techniques, tactics, project tailoring and considerations of both peers and bosses. HR pros must be effective negotiators to serve effectively in their roles, and all the fundamentals of a successful negotiator's concerns are covered. The Essentials Of Finance And Budgeting (1591395720) focuses on understanding and applying key financial statements, making accurate budgets and forecasts, and understanding tax laws and their impact on the organization. Important accounting concepts are outlined, investment and management decisions reviewed, and all applicable financial measures analyzed. With their HR-specific focus, these two references will earn a place in both corporate reference libraries and in classroom curriculums.
