Canadian Human Resource Management

The market leader has improved the #1 HRM offering…again! This edition is about making a good product an outstanding one. Schwind’s current success is attributed to strong, comprehensive coverage of key concepts issues and best practices in the field of HR, without being encyclopedic. The new edition will enhance the practical focus and emphasis on readability through substantive editing and a comprehensive review process. A reduction in the number of chapters in this edition better reflects the market need to address a 14-week course. So, a thorough update including the most current legislation and engaging examples, an increased focus on ethics, a reduced page count and the best media tech resources available (Powerweb, HROnline, premium OLC content), combine to make Schwind the most up-to-date, accessible, and engaging HRM package available to colleges and universities….again!
