Entailing every aspect of the human resource function, this highly comprehensive handbook considers the function in relation to the needs of the business as a whole. Recognizing HRM as a strategic process, Michael Armstrong offers clear practical advice on how companies can maximize the effectiveness of the HRM function and ensure that it makes a major contribution to organizational success.
