Focuses on the resourcing of organisations with people, this engaging text
achieves a balance between academic rigour and practitioner relevance. This balanced
approach, together with the breadth and versatility of the content, enables the book to be
used effectively for modules based on the CIPD Professional Standards and other
upper-level HRM modules.
Substantially revised and updated to match new CIPD Professional Standards,
this fourth edition promises to make the subject even more involving and understandable.
Readable and clear, People Resourcing and Talent Management uses real life examples and
case studies to examine how HR theory and concepts apply in practice.
This book addresses a broad range of HR issues and covers all the activities
that are essential for the acquiring, managing and retaining talent – this from HR
planning through to release from employment. It describes and analyses contemporary HR
practice and puts it into context, covering the latest developments in people resourcing
and talent planning.
This text meets the knowledge and understanding requirements for the CIPD’s
Resourcing and Talent Management module.
