Must read for Marketing Pros targeting Hispanic markets This book is not only for HR professionals, but also a valuable resource for marketing professionals interested in tapping the growing Hispanic market segments.
timely and relevant With Latino Talent, Dr. Rodriguez makes a timely and thoughtful contribution to our national discussion about the changing face of the U.S. workforce. He manages to clarify and contextualize general Latino cultural norms and preferences while steering clear of counterproductive stereotypes. This kind of frank and deep exploration of our growing community's integration with "mainstream" America is critical to our collective journey toward true workplace diversity and inclusion.
Excellent Resource! Dr. Rodriguez does a remarkable job of clarifying the ambiguity that exists in defining Latinos. Regardless of how you interact with Latinos, including as an HR specialist or marketer of products and services, I highly recommend that you focus on Chapter 3 - "Latino Cultural Aspects." Dr. Rodriguez discusses how Latinos interact with others, including "collectivism, respeto, simpatia, personalismo, and communication" (p. 37). Knowledge of those concepts alone provides your organization with a competitive advantage. Without a doubt, I highly recommend "Latino Talent." - Dr. Jim Flores
Latino Talent This is an excellent reference for anyone that one that wants to gain a unique perspective on America's emerging workforce. Dr. Rodriguez treats the subject with unique insight based on research and practical experience. A "must have" for managers working with a diverse workforce.
Great book for those in the recruiting space. The book was an easy read and very informative. It provided a lot of helpful insight into the Hispanic communitee. I have shared the book with my recruitment team to help my staff become more effective at recruiting top Hispanic talent.
I would highly recommend this book to anyone in the recruitment space.
