Foundations in management beyond the HR department

Fundamentals of Human Resources Management supports human resources training for all students of management -- not just HR managers. The text presents a wide range of HR topics within a single semester of material, and a wealth of functional examples and applications. Fundamentals is also the first text of its kind to make talent management processes a core study.

This 5th Edition has been updated with practical personnel techniques, real company examples, and new material on business sustainability. Each chapter touches on important recurring themes in management, including employee engagement tactics, small/global business management, employment law features, and positive employee relations, to help students become stronger and more effective managers.

Also available with MyLab Management

By combining trusted authors' content with digital tools and a flexible platform, MyLab personalizes the learning experience and improves results for each student.

NOTE: You are purchasing a standalone product; MyLab(TM) Management does not come packaged with this content. Students, if interested in purchasing this title with MyLab Management, ask your instructor to confirm the correct package ISBN and Course ID. Instructors, contact your Pearson representative for more information.
