About this title

Review

A highly accessible book for all students with broad coverage of a wide range of HRM topics. The combination of research and practice results in an interesting insight into HRM. The new interactive ebook is a great addition.   (Wendy Yellowley)

This book has become an established text, combining insights and examples that bring something fresh to the study of HRM. With its comprehensive format, it’s an all-rounder and a staple on my bookshelf. Undoubtedly a rich resource for students and lecturers of HRM. (Dr. Shirley Barrett)

This is engaging and comprehensive in its coverage of HRM theory and practice.  It is a ‘must go to’ text for both undergraduate, postgraduate, MBA and CIPD HRM students and HRM academics. (Dr. Kate Black)

I have been using this text with our executive MBAs for over three years now and it hasn’t failed me yet. Wilton can always be relied on to provide the right balance between being based on sound theory without being too academic to put off practising managers. Another great reason for working with this text is the additional web resources and access to articles that accompany the text both for me and my students.  It is a great support in instilling in existing and future managers the importance of good people practices and management if they want to build successful and ethical organisations.
