The authors begin by introducing the reader to the challenges and opportunities that managing people at work can bring and the evolution of the HR function, before addressing key operational areas such as talent management, ethics, leadership, recruitment, and misconduct.

They then go on to explore how these challenges are managed, with an emphasis on the practicality of enforcement but also a critical evaluation of the method. This analytical viewpoint is adopted throughout the book, encouraging students to engage with the issues inherent in HRM.This book is accompanied by the following online resources:For students:Insights and OutcomesExtension MaterialGlossaryWeb LinksMultiple-choice QuestionsFor lecturers:Test BankSuggested Answers to Case Study QuestionsSuggested Answers to Review QuestionsAdditional Case MaterialPowerPoint SlidesSeminar Exercises
