description: Managers are consistently having to prove themselves and the value they add to the organization. The increasing importance of HR to today's organization means that a manager must be abreast of the issues and essential practices in the field in order to do their job effectively and add value to the business. This book is written for practising line managers whose job involves human resource responsibilities. It endeavours to cover the essential aspects of HR as they devolve and are integrated into line management responsibility. However, the text is not simply a 'how to do' handbook. Good management practice is grounded in well developed theory and the text is firmly with the essential theoretical concepts of Human Resource Management. The book comprehensively covers all the core HR concepts to enable the line manager to cope knowledgeably with the demands of his or her job. This philosophy makes the book an ideal choice for post experience managers, particularly those on DMS and MBA courses who wish to expand their own knowledge and expertise through adding value to themselves and their organizations. It draws on the manager's own knowledge and experience of the organization to build the relevant skills and competencies essential to good HR practice.
