People Operations: Automate HR, Design a Great Employee Experience, and Unleash Your Workforce 1st Edition

First, I must say that People Operations is written in a really easy to read and conversational manner which is truly enjoyable. Not only do Jay, Kevin, and Tracy walk through how the world of work is changing, but also paint a nice backstory of why things are changing and the most important part, how to adapt. The main part of the book discusses moving away from the concept of "HR" and into "People Operations" and why this is so important. I don't want to ruin it so won't say any more but this is totally worth a read if you're thinking of starting a business, already run a business, manage any people, and of course if you are on an HR or People Operations team.

This book is a must have for any People Operations, Executive, or HR Professional!The paradigm of how people work has shifted over the last few years and companies are in a war for talent. To retain your most important asset as a business (your employees), you need to "leverage a systematic process for encouraging employee engagement, adjust the business, and measure outcomes." Robust HRIS technologies assists with that, but ultimately, a company's leadership needs to understand what People Operations truly means. If you are looking for a guide to position your business for this new world of work, you will not be disappointed with this book.

I was pleasantly surprised by this book, and read it in 4 days! As a small business advisor working with entrepreneurs and small companies for over 10 years, I picked up People Operations to learn new, forward thinking approaches to people management. Whether you’re in HR, or a business founder, you will find this book has practical and impactful suggestions from how to develop compensation best practices to how to motivate your employees. There’s business, inspiration, practical advice, and a whole bunch of ways to improve your employees’ experience at your place of work.

Enjoyed the book, but was certainly disappointed at how entry level it was. I would highly suggest this for first time HR/People Ops professionals, or people transitioning into the field. For those who have been in the field for even 2-3 years, I would encourage you to find a much more intricate book when it comes to strategizing and building real plans to grow and scale as a people ops org into the future.Also, not sure if this is consistent throughout all copies, but I found many, many writing errors - was a little embarrassed how often I found them. Doesn’t seem like editing was done properly unfortunately.

This is must have for any one in HR (People Operations). This book is a simple instruction manual to help any business owner or HR person navigate in today's new working environment. If you need help coming up with ideas on how to win the war on talent or trying to figure out different ways to keep your employee engaged this book is for you! Plus, it's a very easy read that contained a lot of great tools that you can start using today.

Fantastic book / blueprint for any HR or C Level Professional in the SMB / Mid Market space. Most books could be written in 30 pages or less, with People Ops you get over 250 pages of protein! People Operations is filled with actionable data and steps to help drive engagement and outcomes. I find it to be a great resource and I'm constantly going back to the book to help my Clients and Prospects hit their people objectives. Well written!

People Operations speaks to the pivotal shift in thinking of human resources. As an employee it enables you to think about your expectations throughout your employment journey while validating that people are the pillar to any businesses success. As a people leader is gives you a blueprint to successfully build a best in class employee experience.

I was also able to share this book with some consulting partners of mine who help SMBs and they found lots of value to this book in how they support their small biz clients, as well as, how they market to new clients. Easy read and lots of great, usable, tools too!
