For undergraduate courses in Human Resources Management.

The most student accessible HRM text on the market! 

There is no greater asset to a company than its employees–which is why Human Resource Management shows readers how to maximize a firm’s potential through identifying and keeping an ideal workforce.  

This text is intended primarily for the first undergraduate course in human resource management or for students who are being exposed to human resource management for the first time. The text is designed to introduce them to the field through the use of numerous examples and company material and will reinforce the notion that, by definition, all managers are necessarily involved with human resources.

The new edition reflects many recent changes in the industry, across the country, and around the globe, including the 2012 national elections, continuing economic uncertainly, technological changes including an increase in mobile recruiting and learning, and the integral role that social media tools such as wikis, blogs, LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter now play in the field of HR.
