The book draws on the very wide experience of a leading firm of management consultants with all sorts of companies, including major multi-nationals. There is also a chapter specifically devoted to human resource management in the public sector. Coverage includes - HR development; performance management; international HRM; reward management; TQM and customer cafe; employee communications; HR information systems; organization strategy and much more.
