**Intact Gift Giving Condition book**
The idea that public service is a noble calling and essential profession is reinforced by the many examples, 25 case studies, and 15 Essential Views that reveal real-life working examples and experiences found in governmental organizations. Public Human Resource Management: Essential Principles and Case Studies is written for undergraduate and graduate learners and for the legions of public servants participating in executive education and professional training programs. The centrality of Human Resource (HR) management resides in managing people as assets—the core of the human enterprise—where the focus is on interpersonal or soft skills (effective listening, communicating, and self-improvement), and treating others with dignity, respect and comity.
