CSR FOR HR or HR FOR CSR – a Win Win For Everybody Reading "CSR for HR" by Elaine Cohen has successfully answered some key questions that have I been chewing over in my head.. this book was an eye opener for me... ... And while "the intended audience is anyone practising, teaching, learning, aspiring to be in the HR function", I see value in expanded the audience to include anyone practicing, or aspiring to be in the CSR function as well. ... Yes, Elaine Cohen's book is a must read for anyone in HR function of any sized organization, and let's not forget for CSR practitioners too. Full review -- Lalia Helmer, Business that Cares blog
... a must-read for everybody who either works in the HR function and wants to develop a view on how to support CSR in their daily life, or for everybody outside the HR function looking for arguments why the HR function has an important role to play and needs to overcome some genuine mental stereotypes. ... The nice thing about telling the story in a plot like this is that more or less all arguments that one could run against in this challenging metamorphosis come back in the book, and in that sense it delivers refreshing yet convincing arguments any reader can use from the next day onwards.

In essence, reading Elaine's book saves the reader a lot of time reading other articles and books. ...
