Introduction to Human Resource Management
A guide to personnel practice

Description

Offering a basic and practical approach to HR and Personnel issues, 'Introduction to Human Resource Management' caters for both CIPD students on the Certificate in Personnel Practice and non-CIPD students on foundation degree programmes. This text takes account of the fact that in addition to developing a sound understanding of the relevant underlying ideas, theoretical concepts and matters of professional practice, students at these levels need to develop competence in their practical application. This book is designed, therefore, to achieve an appropriate academic-practical balance.
