Lacey, WA, November 29, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Outskirts Press, Inc. has published Reclaiming the Soul of Human Resources: How to Recover The Purpose of HR to Nurture and Protect the Human Spirit by Cathy Raymond.

The webpage at www.outskirtspress.com/reclaimingthesoulofhumanresources was launched simultaneously with the book's publication.

As a human resources leader, one can make a difference in one’s organization one employee at a time. Human resources is a “people profession.” Its goals are to help people achieve their potential and the organization to succeed.

But as the profession has evolved, these objectives have fallen by the wayside -- and it shows. Employees are unhappier than ever, negativity runs rampant, and the organization’s ability to deliver quality service and product is challenged. HR professionals are desperately trying to keep their heads above water as they juggle the demands of their organizations.

“How do we get back to our roots?” asks author Cathy Raymond.

Reclaiming the Soul of Human Resources shows how to nurture and protect the vital human spirit in an organization. It also addresses one of the biggest issues in today’s organizations: capacity -- getting the most out of resources without losing sight of quality. Readers will learn about systems and policies that both support the human spirit and deliver on the organization’s purpose.

HR professionals, executives, managers, and supervisors will find connections and insights that they can apply to their own work. The stories are universal, the “how to’s” are practical, and the possibilities are endless.

218 pages in length, Reclaiming the Soul of Human Resources: How to Recover the Purpose of HR to Nurture and Protect the Human Spirit is being aggressively promoted to appropriate markets with a focus on the business, economics, human resources and personnel management category. With U.S. wholesale distribution through Ingram and Baker & Taylor, and pervasive online availability through Amazon, Barnes & Noble and elsewhere, Reclaiming the Soul of Human Resources meets consumer demand through both retail and library markets with a suggested retail price of $14.95.
