Overview

This book is a concise yet definitive introduction to human resource management and development that will serve as a handy reference text for the subject. Written in an accessible style that brings the topic to life, the book will help students understand the key principles behind human resource management and development. After setting the context of human resource development, the book’s structure follows the HR lifecycle: starting with attracting new employees, through developing and managing those employees, and on to managing the employer/employee relationship. This gives the book a logical flow that enables readers to internalise these core concepts with confidence. Each chapter begins with a helpful chapter summary and has references that students can use as a springboard for further reading. Discussion questions also supplement each chapter, making the book a useful aide in the classroom for instructors. Ideal for undergraduate students studying human resource management and development, the book may also be used for postgraduate students without a background in Business and Management who need a quick, efficient but authoritative overview.
