"Human Resource Management Principles will place your students at the forefront in understanding how organizations can gain a sustainable competitive advantage through people. The role of HR managers is no longer limited to service functions such as recruiting and selecting employees. Today, HR managers assume an active role in the strategic planning and decision making within their organizations. Meeting challenges head-on and using human resources effectively are critical to the success of any work organization. In this edition of the book, we've made improvements that make these points even more strongly In the first chapter, we begin by explaining the key challenges to HRM in developing the flexible and skilled workforce needed to compete effectively. Side by side with the competitive challenges, HRM must also address important employee concerns such as managing a diverse workforce, recognizing employee rights, and adjusting to new work attitudes. The chapter also discusses the important partnership with line managers and the competencies required of HR management. Then the textbook continues with the introduc-tion, explanation, and discussion of the individual practices and policies that make up HRM. We recognize the manager's changing role, and emphasize current issues and real-world problems and the policies and practices of HRM used to meet them. Although we focus on the HR role of managers, we do not exclude the impact and importance of the HR department's strategic role in developing, coordinating, and enforcing policies and procedures relating to HR functions. Whether the reader becomes a manager, a supervisor, or an HR specialist, or is employed in other areas of the organization, Human Resource Management Principles provides a functional and practical understanding of HR programs to enable readers to see how HR affects all employees, the organization, the community, and the larger society. Issues of strategy and talent have become such central concerns of HR today that we have reorganized and reemphasized the topics in this edition of the book. The second chapter of the book specifically addresses the issues of HR strategy and planning. Chapter 5 focuses on expanding and managing the talent pool in organi-zations. The detailed coverage of these topics solidifies Human Resource Management Principles as perhaps the premier text for thought leadership, especially the global talent pool. Organizations in today's competitive world are discovering that it is how the individual HR topics are combined that makes all the difference. Managers typically don't focus on HR issues such as staffing, train-ing, and compensation in isolation from one another. Each of these HR practices is combined into an overall system to enhance employee involvement and productivity. Human Resource Management Principles ends with a final chapter that focuses on development of high-performance work systems (HPWS). We outline the various components of the systems including work-flow design, HR practices, management processes, and supporting technologies. We also discuss the strategic processes used to implement high-performance work systems and the outcomes that benefit both the employee and the organization as a whole." --Preface Chapter 1 The challenge of human resources management -- Chapter 2 Strategy and human resources planning -- Chapter 3 Equal employment opportunity and human resources management -- Chapter 4 Job analysis, employee involvement, and flexible work schedules -- Chapter 5 Expanding the talent pool: Recruitment and careers -- Chapter 6 Employee selection -- Chapter 7 Training and development --Chapter 8 Appraising and improving performance -- Chapter 9 Managing compensation -- Chapter 10 Pay-for-performance: Incentive rewards -- Chapter 11 Employee benefits -- Chapter 12 Promoting safety and health -- Chapter 13 Employee rights and discipline -- Chapter 14 The dynamics of labor relations -- Chapter 15 International human resources management -- Chapter 16 Creating high-performance work systems.
