Material Detail

This is a free textbook offered by BookBoon.

'In the past, Human Resources Management was considered a rather tedious management discipline, preoccupied with the hiring, firing, and disciplinary measures within an organization. These days, it is a much more central and strategic department, playing an important role in helping an organization to be fully equipped with the resources it needs to do a job and enhancing its ability to achieve. What Do HR Managers Do? is an accessible and humorous e-book which looks at the changing role of HR professionals and applies up-to-date management theory to bear on this deceptively simple question. It can be downloaded for free here on bookboon.com.

What Do HR People Do? delves into four umbrella topics: Recruitment and Selection, Disciplinary Procedures and Managing Equality, New Technologies in the Workplace, and Change Management. In discussing these topics, the text also outlines important HR management theories and practices, such as STEEPLE analysis, selection testing, microelectronics, the Network Society, developing a global workforce, teleworking, and Kurt Lewin’s change model. Each chapter includes a number of review questions for self-assessment and understanding, and historical and/or real world examples are used to illustrate complex management strategies. A detailed bibliography is also included.
