Publications

Background

Since the launch of FISSING in 1990, we have developed a body of work comprising booklets, manuals and guides arising from our on-going research and development. These have been stimulated by key issues raised by our members, who comprise HR practitioners in many of the UK’s highest quality organisations, or by findings in our Benchmarking Club.

Where the subject matter is consistent, many of the original reports have been combined into single booklets, although we show the titles of the originals separately.

We have kept to the style of FISSING reports, that is to say they are intended for the practitioners and are to-the-point, forward looking, practical ‘best’ practice works based on the frontier experience of sound, large, high performing organisations.

The individual publications vary from booklets to full-blown manuals and guides.

  How to use this publications list

The section below shows the main title of each work in italics, followed in most cases by the titles of the original material. Where there is no sub-heading, these are stand-alone reports.
