Overview
We all have to work to pay the bills - but what influence do we really have over our pay and working conditions? The emergence of the global economy, digital technologies, mass migration, gig work and zero hours contracts have catapulted this question to the forefront of Human Resources Management (HRM). So how can we keep the 'human' in human resource management when faced by these pressures? This book adopts a critical approach to today's major workplace challenges. It turns traditional HRM on its head by placing workers' perspectives towards the workplace alongside those of managers to create an HRM textbook for the 21st century. Written by two experienced and research-active authors, the book: - covers key issues that are overlooked in many textbooks, including the 'new' unitarism, corporate social responsibility and the challenges of Artificial Intelligence; - adopts a critical approach that will relate more to students who don't wish to become traditional managers; - includes current examples and case studies from the world of work and business that will bring the subject to life. This is a comprehensive one-stop resource for students and lecturers alike.
