Description
Introduction to Human Resource Management is a comprehensive guide to the subject of HRM, drawing on the authors' experiences in both the public and private sectors and underpinned by academic theory. This textbook follows the logical sequence of the employment cycle, showing how human resource management plays out in practice.
It covers a wide range of topics, including organizational culture, the role of the HR professional, recruitment and selection, talent management, and employment law, as well as more contemporary issues such as the gig economy and social media. With a range of pedagogical features, including case studies and review questions, this textbook is ideal for students encountering HRM for the first time.
The fourth edition has been revised and expanded to include coverage of zero-hours contracts and the UK apprenticeship levy, and online supporting resources are available, including an instructor's manual, lecture slides, and students' resources.
