On this wonderful Thanksgiving holiday, I am so thankful to be in such an amazing profession and have the pleasure to work such wonderful people! So for the readers of the blog - thank you for visiting, and thank you for the jobs that you do every day!
Also, as a side holiday celebration, Apple surprised me from a timing perspective and released my first book today - Global HR: Brazil ! This first book is a beginning of a series of how HR around the world is different and it has been a lot of fun to write. The first challenge was to develop what are the key elements that make HR in each country different - which led to a development of a framework which will guide the books. The second was picking the platform - and I used the new iAuthor system from Apple which allows the books to be less books and instead, very interactive - so there are hyperlinks, embedded videos, etc. The new platform also allows me to update the books as things change, and send out updates to the readers.
I do look forward to your comments and feedback !

Congratulations Franz for the book ! Do you have a table of content ? And do you plan a kindle version too for those of us who like Amazon as well ?

Sandrine - great questions! Feel free to send me your email address to franz.gilbert@gmail.com and I will get you the table of contents. As for the kindle - I don't have plans for that yet - as I was still figuring out Apple's platform. Let me look into seeing if I can keep the interactivity of the book (e.g. videos) and still get it to work on Kindle.
