Reviews

'This book's structure reflects not only current trends in the subject, but also exposes students to the psycho-social and historical context within which Employment Law in HRM has developed, thereby providing the students with a better understanding of the underlying purpose of the principles and practices that affect the business of managing people. A valuable contribution to the ever-expanding literature on Employment Law from my perspective.'
