The third edition has been completely restructured to provide not only in-depth and practical insight into HRM but also a focus on outcomes designed to help readers and learners develop their ability to practice HRM. To support this focus, chapter content is aligned to the outcomes and each chapter has a "Practicing HRM" section with tasks designed to assist readers and learners to put the content into practice and meet the chapter outcomes.

Human Resource Management aims to ensure the development of the knowledge and skills required for the effective management of people in the workplace. This interactive e-book is designed for managers of small to medium enterprises who do not have their own human resource departments, as it not only offers an overview of the latest labour legislation and how this applies to the employer, but also provides theoretical knowledge, understanding and guidelines necessary to make informed decisions regarding human resource management and practices. It also contains practical advice, techniques and tools for hands-on management of staff, including the required forms for the administration of the human resource management function.
