Human Resource Management: An Introduction

Human Resource Management: An Introduction is a comprehensive guide to the basic concepts, principles and terminologies of human resource management. Specifically, this title introduces students to human resource management in the South African context. In so doing, it covers areas such as human resource strategy, recruitment, selection, retention and performance management. Additionally, it explores topics such as compensation management, career management, and health and safety in organisational environments. Finally, it illustrates the role and function of leadership in relation to human resource management. Importantly, this book also foregrounds how South Africa’s labour legislation is among the most progressive in the world, allowing institutions to settle disputes and ensure fairness in the workplace.
