Human resource management is now more important than ever, as organisations grapple with complex economic conditions, rapid technological advancement and a changing social landscape in the twenty-first century. Human Resource Management in Australia provides a clear and accessible introduction to the contexts within which human resource management operates. This book covers all of the key functions of attraction, maintaining, and developing human resources including recruitment and selection, training, development and career management and human resources information systems and HR metrics. It also offers an in-depth examination of contemporary issues essential to the management of human resources. The second edition has been comprehensively updated with the latest legislation and includes contemporary and engaging examples of human resources in practice in Australia.
