Resource Executives and Managers

CHAPEL HILL, N.C., Feb. 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Best Practices, LLC has
recognized that in today's dynamic business environment many Human
Resource executives and managers are being asked to deal with
wide-ranging business issues, many of which are not traditionally
associated with Human Resource management. In order to better meet the
needs of Human Resource practitioners Best Practices, LLC has launched
a Best Practice and Benchmarking Database designed to specifically
meet the emerging and on-going needs of Human Resource executives and
managers.

All of Best Practices research is now available for an annual flat-fee
for memberships that starts at a few thousand dollars per year.
Examples of the content in the Best Practice Database covered by the
flat fee includes:

- Improving the Quality Function: Driving Organizational Impact &

Efficiency: A 87 page study focused on improving the efficiency of

quality functions while lowering costs. Key elements include:

organizational structure, risk measurement and management, and quality

measurement tools and metrics. This report sells for $3,195.00 but is

best-in-class companies such as AMEX, IBM, Clorox, MetLife and

companies use to select, train and prepare managers and executives.

- Developing Sales Leads with Non-traditional Sales Forces: A wide range

of employees often built trusted relationships with customers,
