Human Resource Management

Human resource management has never been more important and more complicated. The world of work is changing. Anyone intending to work in a Human Resource Management Department or as a manager of a small firm needs to have a firm foundation in the essentials of human resource management. This comprehensive textbook is intended as a guide to students who look forward to a career in this field, as well as executives and managers who are already employed and find themselves responsible for human resource-related activities in their organization. The book covers the range of all human resource management functions, including recruitment and selection of staff, training, employee performance management, compensation options, improving productivity, industrial relations and, wherever relevant, an introduction to the employment legislation relating to these key areas.
