Book description
Human Resource Management in Australia presents the best
of classic and contemporary HRM knowledge from the Asia-Pacific region
and beyond in a thought-provoking and challenging way. The text effectively
combines a solid conceptual foundation and strategic approach with an
emphasis on empirical research and relevant, interesting, practical examples.
This new adaptation is strongly focused on contemporary issues in HRM
in Australia, such as workplace diversity; work/life balance; employee
learning; the quality movement; work teams; and the impact of technology,
all of which have a major impact on business and human resource practice. It
pays special attention to the role of HRM in strategy formation and implementation;
how organisations interact with the environment; the evaluation of HR;
and managing staff turnover and retention. Specifically the book
emphasises HRM as a means of creating value and gaining competitive advantage
in business, and illustrates how HR strategies and practices have assisted
organisations to meet global, quality, social, technological, and structural
challenges.
Each chapter discusses current practice and research and highlights international
issues within a regional context, drawing upon local examples from the
Asia Pacific region.
