About the Book

The 2^nd edition of Human Resource Management presents a practical approach to the study of human resource management. Common themes running through the book include the linking of HRM to organisational strategic business objectives; HRM’s potential to contribute to organisational success and employee well-being; the commonality of interests existing between employers and employees; the globalisation of business; and the need for organisations to become internationally competitive. This book offers a guide to the process of reinventing HR so that it focuses on identifying the individual characteristics and then aligns all HR activities around them. The purpose of HR management is, thus, not to describe ‘jobs’ and find people to fit into boxes on organisational charts. Instead, its goal is to enhance productivity and gain competitive advantage by unleashing the power of exemplary performers, discovering their characteristics, and building those characteristics into all aspects of HR. Any person with an interest in effectively managing human resources through a competency-based system would benefit from this book. Enlightening feedback and suggestions are solicited.
