| Summary |
"This new edition of Personnel Management in Britain provides analysis of recent thinking and developments. Contributions from leading experts offer a treatment of personnel management in the 'lean organization' and the 'extended organization', as well as the main issues in each of the key areas of planning and resourcing, performance management, training and development, involvement and participation and management-trade union 'partnership' agreements." "Personnel Management offers an analysis of what is happening in personnel management and a framework within which to understand both present and likely future trends, including the challenges of Europeanization following the UK's signature of the 'social chapter' of the EU Maastricht Treaty and the launch of the critical state of Economic and Monetary Union."--BOOK JACKET |
