For introductory courses in human resource management.

Foundations in management beyond the HR department

Fundamentals of Human Resources Management supports human resources training for all students of management -- not just HR managers. The text presents a wide range of HR topics within a single semester of material, and a wealth of functional examples and applications. Fundamentals is also the first text of its kind to make talent management processes a core study.

This 5th Edition has been updated with practical personnel techniques, real company examples, and new material on business sustainability. Each chapter touches on important recurring themes in management, including employee engagement tactics, small/global business management, employment law features, and positive employee relations, to help students become stronger and more effective managers.

MyLab Management is not included. Students, if MyLab Management is a recommended/mandatory component of the course, please ask your instructor for the correct ISBN. MyLab Management should only be purchased when required by an instructor. Instructors, contact your Pearson representative for more information.
