Description
People Resourcing is the leading textbook for the CIPD PDS module and is closely aligned to CIPD standards. Highly critical in its approach, it is ideal for students on the CIPD People Resourcing module on the PDS and those studying People Resourcing modules on non-CIPD programmes, including Masters level students, and practitioners.
Through practical guidance and theoretical underpinning, People Resourcing provides a comprehensive overview of fundamental management issues such as attracting the best candidates, reducing staff turnover and improving employee performance.
Expanding on the success of the previous editions, this fully revised fourth edition is even more student friendly. In addition to learning objectives, exercises, articles, self assessment questions, summaries and further reading it now incorporates a brand new text design, more in depth case studies, increased reference to academic journal articles and a brand new chapter on Resourcing Strategy. The text also includes access to a companion website.
