Description
Also available: Textbook and Revision Guide Pack ISBN 1843980819People Management and Development is the leading textbook for students taking the CIPD People Management and Development module. It is written by the chief moderator and the author of the new standards. It offers a comprehensive overview of People Management and Development in a clear and accessible style, while offering critical viewpoints to the subject area and challenging students to make their own assessments. It is designed to analyse the essential knowledge and understanding required of all personnel and development professionals. The book comprises a number of sections, commencing with an examination of the factors shaping HRM at work - including the legal and institutional forces as well as the changing nature of work and employment. A recurring theme throughout the book is the integration of HRM with business objectives and the degree to which it is able to add value. Later chapters in the book consider each of the main components of HRM at work, seeking to show how these interrelate with each other in a wide range of differing organisational contexts.
