Managing Human Resources

Written for "The Elements of Business" series, this text covers the field of human resource management in a way that should be useful for MBA students and those taking HRM courses as part of a professional qualification. It is designed to be of practical help to future line managers who wish to ensure their competence in the HRM field. The authors, both based at Bradford Management Centre, explore: the basics of HRM; how to deal successfully with unions, recruitment and selection; payment systems; and health, safety and welfare systems. Each chapter has a discussion question to encourage analysis of the points raised.
