Provides comprehensive, practical description and discussion of the functions of personnel management, supported by extensive illustrative material and evidence from current practice. The text has a logical structure: each part begins with a chapter on the strategic aspects of personnel management within the wider organisation; this is followed by chapters covering the core operational aspects; the final chapter in each part covers the practical skills of interaction needed by a personnel manager. Beyond updating the material to reflect legislative changes, current business practice and emerging issues of professional debate, this revision has introduced a range of assessment material and new illustrative material, pedagogical and text design enhancements, and improved lecturer support material.
