Features: The core issue of management is the management of people. The theories and methods of human resource management have universal significance for all organizations. How to attract and retain the talent needed by the enterprise, and how to enable employees to create greater benefits for the enterprise, are important issues faced by every enterprise. Human resource planning, personnel selection, performance evaluation, the establishment of internal incentive systems, as well as employee training and development, constitute the basic tasks of human resource management. This book addresses the unique human resource management issues in China, providing both an in-depth and accessible introduction to fundamental principles and basic knowledge, as well as practical and feasible solutions. If it can be said that all management is about using people to get things done, then how to use people effectively, how to achieve the greatest possible match between people and tasks, how to maximize the potential of individuals, and how to significantly improve work efficiency, are issues worth serious discussion. If an organization invests in the health, knowledge, and skills of laborers, and if this investment aims to generate new value exceeding the invested cost, and if this new value can be owned and controlled by the investor, then this investment is a form of capital. The value created by this investment is human capital. A good human resource plan should be able to achieve both corporate profitability and individual career advancement, fostering the common development of both the enterprise and its employees.
