Drawing on a wide range of organizational examples, this book brings a new balance to assessing the role and impact of HRM. It looks at the core assumptions of an HRM perspective, and at what happens when organizations seek to implement HRM. The contributors show that there are a number of tensions and contradictions inherent in an HRM concept that raise central issues for practice. They demonstrate that HRM is one approach to employee management that will tend to prevail in certain contexts and conditions rather than universally. Specific themes include: HRM and competitive success; organizational culture and HRM; HRM, flexibility and decentralization; reward management and HRM; HRM, Just-in-Time manufacturing and new technology; HRM and trade unions; HRM as the management of managerial meaning.

The majority of textbooks on HRM tend to focus on the administrative side of the subject and fail to examine its strategic importance. This book is intended to redress the balance and, taking strategy as its starting point, it looks at the overall role of HRM in the organization. The author explores strategic human resource management through chapters on managing change in strategy, structure, and culture; the role of human resource planning, and types of employment system. He also reviews some of the key issues in managing different employee groups. These themes are problem- and issue- focused and extensively illustrated throughout with case study examples. Dr Chris Hendry is the author of many reports, research papers and articles on HRM and strategic management.

Seminar paper from the year 2018 in the subject Leadership and Human Resources - Miscellaneous, grade: 1.2, , language: English, abstract: The transformation of human resource practices has been impacted by different factors including globalization, compensation and benefits package, and diversity initiatives. For instance, in the global competition, firms are seeking for a talented pool of excellent workers to achieve a sustained competitive advantage. Compensation and benefits package is another factor that has an impact on the future performance of human resource practices. This is because compensation and benefits package are designed to attract, retain, and motivate employees for competitive advantage. Human resource management is, therefore, moving away from a base-pay-system towards a pay-for-performance system in order to encourage and motivate employees without having to jeopardize their basic financial security. It is also evident that diversity initiatives in human resource are getting wider attention owing to the impact of globalization and increase in job market. Organizations have invested resources on diversity initiatives including workplace programs and benefits such as flexible work arrangement, corporate sponsored employee affinity groups, and diversity management staffs. Various organizations have implemented various initiatives including diversity and equity in the workplace in order to enhance the performance of the firm.

There is growing interest in flexible working, not only as a means to manage labour more efficiently and for greater agility, but also as a response to increasing concerns over well-being, work-life balance, and participation in the labour force of those with significant non-work commitments (e.g. parents, carers, older workers). As a result, a comprehensive stream of literature on the benefits and challenges of flexible working has developed and led to a body of evidence on the implementation and outcomes of different forms of flexible working arrangements. This book assesses the current state of this literature as follows: Background: the authors review the different definitions that have been proposed, policy developments, availability and uptake. Outcomes from flexible working: the main chapters focus on the outcomes for employers (e.g. performance, employee retention, organisational commitment etc.), as well as for individual employees (e.g. well-being, job satisfaction etc.). Evaluation of extant knowledge: the authors comment on the existing literature and consider the methodological approaches adopted in the literature. Conclusion: suggestions for future research are proposed. Of interest to students, academics and policy-makers, this book provides an expert overview of the empirical evidence and offers critical commentary on the state of knowledge in the field of flexible working and new forms of work.

As the some of the human resource functions are passed to managers this title helps managers understand their roles in giving training, advice and guidance on such matters as recruitment and selection, working patterns and the complexities of employment law. The traditional central human resource function of recruitment and selection is diminishing in many organisations, with increasing involvement from the manager who requires the new employee.
