Introducing Human Resource Management

Introducing Human Resource Management, 8th Edition, is an introductory textbook that links human resource theory to the work environment. It combines academic foundations with practical workplace examples to examine key people management subjects.

Core areas of exploration include human resource strategy and planning, employee engagement, diversity and equality, and talent management and development. The volume also addresses practical operational functions such as recruitment and selection, managing performance, and pay and reward systems.

Designed for a first course in human resource management at undergraduate or professional levels, the text supports coursework leading to Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) qualifications. Each chapter maps directly against CIPD professional standards.
