Synopsis

MANAGING HUMAN RESOURCES THROUGH STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS is a tightly integrated, higher-level text with strong organizing themes: strategy, teams, diversity, global issues, and change. These themes are highlighted in boxed features throughout. The text also follows an organizing structure that emphasizes the HR Triad (employee, line manager, HR manager) with the understanding that effective human resource management requires mutual understanding and collaboration among HR professionals, managers, and all other employees.
