Features: Every manager knows that personnel management is crucial and cannot be ignored. Similarly, human resource managers know that if they cannot prove their department's contribution to corporate strategy and success, their function is easily outsourced. For them, mastering the mysteries of personnel management has never been more important! Here, we provide the only way to master personnel management. Written by world-class business thinkers, this book offers managers relevant concepts and techniques to help them reach their maximum potential. In this book, scholars from business schools—including INSEAD Business School and the Wharton School—join experienced practitioners to explore key personnel management issues: the role of people, strategy and performance, organization and change, culture and the workplace, gender and family affairs, conflict management, law and regulations, skills, rewards, recruitment, testing, and training.
