Best Practices in the Cultural Sector report offers advice and guidance for human resources management in the cultural sector, and is specifically tailored for small and medium sized businesses. Excerpt from introduction: Over the past decade a considerable amount of discussion, research and analysis has been focused on the current state of human resources management in the cultural sector. On the whole, most of the reports have painted an unhealthy picture of HR practices in the sector. They show a serious need to improve human resources management, especially as it relates to the cultural management “crisis” about which much has been written. Sponsors of these past studies have included CHRC, CCA, CCCO and the Arts Leadership Network. "The lack of effective management of human resources may be less of an issue in large cultural organizations that have dedicated HR specialists on staff. But most small/medium sized cultural organizations do not have this luxury. Their managers have had little or no training in human resources management and are coping with enormous workloads and pressures." To view the report, CLICK HERE
