Institutions such as trade unions that were once relied upon to
protect workers' wages, conditions and job security are eroding. In
response, new forms of worker protections are emerging. Protecting
the Future of Work examines new forms of regulation that have
emerged in response to increasing social concern about poor labour
practices, growing inequality, and detrimental working conditions.
It looks at how trade unions, community organisations and other
actors have mobilised to raise public awareness and pressure
businesses and governments to improve working conditions. Featuring
a balance of texts on the changing nature of and the history of
trade union change and transformation, the series Trade Unionism
gives space for in-depth, detailed analysis and captures key themes
on the nature of internationalism and trade unionism.

SMEs face unique challenges directly stemming from their size,
which create pressures, tensions and dilemmas with regard to people
management. These include the liabilities of smallness and newness,
as well as resource challenges pertaining to the attraction,
development and retention of the workforce. In turn, these
challenges can give rise to unique HR dynamics in the SME setting.
This edited collection brings together insights from thought
leaders in the field of HRM in SMEs to consider how the interplay
of a range of external and internal factors coalesce to shape the
nature, form and meaning of HRM in this setting. Â This
volume moves beyond traditional accounts which are organised by HR
function or practice area (e.g. recruitment, performance, training)
or by considerations of the applicability of HR (e.g. HR and
performance, best practice). Instead, the contributions are divided
in two sections, HR Challenges and HR Dynamics, demonstrating how
the unique setting of the SME must inform any successful HRM
intervention. This collection/volume will be of great interest to
students and academics ofHR, employment relations and
entrepreneurship, as well as those exploring professional
qualifications.
