Description: Unique in approach, this book provides an interactive, learn-by-doing experience for developing HRM skills--readers are provided with a conceptual framework necessary to understand the relevant issues in HRM, and then develop behavioral skills in each area of HRM by actively participating in individual and team exercises which require the application of chapter content to specific organizational situations. Exceptionally straightforward and real-world throughout, it shows readers the relevance of topics from the "very beginning" through the extensive use of real-world illustrations and company examples showing how human resource management is being applied in "today's" organizations. It not only familiarizes readers with new methodologies and techniques for implementing HRM programs, but provides them with opportunities for personal growth and development as well. Walks readers systematically through a model "Success System" that shows them how to attract a high performing workforce, develop a high performing workforce, motivate a high performing workforce, maintain a high performing workforce, change a high performing workforce, and look toward the future. Ideal as an independent study guide for those wanting to learn more about organization change, or a comprehensive set of materials on how to initiate HR programs for the practicing HRM or operating manager. For management training and executive development in a variety of fields and at a variety of levels (from first-line supervision to top management teams)--e.g., bankers, engineers, nurses, teachers, public administrators, military officers, production managers, and marketing managers.
