Contemporary Issues in Human Resource Management is uniquely
holistic in its approach to advanced HRM and takes the reader logically
through a wide variety of practical issues and functions that affect HR
practitioners. Topics addressed include competition and choice, people
and skills, regulation and public policy, social trends, engaging
people, managing an international workforce, and developing and
implementing HR strategies. It is an essential one-stop resource that
clearly evaluates the issues surrounding the way people are managed,
offers insight into the future development of HRM, and provides the
theoretical framework that will enable success in practice.
Contemporary Issues in Human Resource Management is packed full of
engaging features, such as chapter-by-chapter learning outcomes, case
studies, critical reflections, questions and activities designed to

HR management so vital for the practice of HR within an organisation,
Stephen Taylor's innovative textbook is ideal for students taking an HRM
module at undergraduate or Master's level, as well as students taking
other modules that explore people management in relation to the wider
business context. Online resources are offered to complement the
