A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

Managing employee absence, maintaining a healthy �??work-life balance�??, and developing ethical and socially responsible codes of behaviour at work: many of the most topical areas of debate in organisations are rooted in issues of human resource management.

There is a range of useful features to engage the reader�??s interest and assist in learning from the text:

• seven Focus on Skills sections develop specific areas of practical HR expertise

• practice Examination Questions at the end of each chapter

 

A companion website at www.pearsoned.co.uk/torrington provides extra cases and articles taken from the Financial Times, self-assessment questions for each chapter and links to other useful websites.

 

 

This book is suitable for students taking HRM modules on both undergraduate and postgraduate degree programmes, as well as for professional qualifications.

The real life examples, quotes and case studies, together with the reference to the web-site links, will undoubtedly help to enhance the suitability of this text to a range of courses.  I will certainly recommend this text to my students.

It is easy to follow, engaging in style, and keeps the reader�??s interest up.
