Features: The greatest difference of this book from other similar textbooks lies in its fundamental philosophy of "people above all." It innovatively revolves around the following two themes: (1) Human resource management is the responsibility of every manager, not just the HR department. All managers need a solid foundation in HR management concepts and skills. (2) Winning employees' commitment is the cornerstone of successful human resource management, and every aspect of HR management in the enterprise contributes to fostering employee commitment. The main content of this book includes: employee recruitment and placement; staff training and development; compensation and benefits; labor relations; employee security and workplace safety. Additionally, the book provides extensive and in-depth discussions on the application of computers in HR management, international HR management issues, and HR management in small and medium-sized enterprises. To emphasize the practicality of the book, each chapter is supported by relevant case studies, and a comprehensive case study is woven throughout the chapters to give readers a holistic understanding of enterprise human resource management. This book is characterized by its unique and insightful perspectives, rich and detailed information, and relatable and credible examples. It is suitable for students of management disciplines, MBA students, and business management personnel for training and self-study.
