“A good, reliable and accurate all round book with lots of useful models that are well explained and illustrated."
Gill Christy, Visiting Fellow, University of Portsmouth
Introducing Human Resource Management is a lively and engaging introduction to the key topics and issues surrounding people management. Clearly linking HR theory to the work environment, this book explores core areas such as HR strategy and planning, employee engagement, diversity and equality, and talent management and development. The text combines solid academic underpinning with practical examples to allow you to consolidate your learning and apply it in practice.
This 7th edition has been fully revised to include:
- a whole new International HRM chapter
- the latest developments in equality legislation
- greater coverage of the increasingly important need to develop and keep talent within organisations
- more emphasis on employee engagement, equality and diversity
- a focus on developing your employability skills in areas such as: management of self, management of your learning, problem solving, thinking critically, working with others, data handling, communication and business awareness
This text will help you succeed in your studies through:
- ‘Did you know’ and ‘Pause for thought’ boxes to get you thinking
- ‘What next’ features to encourage you to find out more about a topic
- ‘HR in the news’ features containing articles from the Financial Times to promote discussion of real-life examples of HR in practice.
- 'Review questions' (with answers) to help you check your understanding of a topic
- 'Improve your employability' exercises to help you develop your skills and employability
Introducing Human Resource Management is ideal for a first course in human resource management at undergraduate or professional level, including courses that lead to a Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) qualification. This new edition maps each chapter against the CIPD’s standards.

You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
