Description: "Following the European Union Directive on Information and Consultation and the consequent UK legislation (2005), this volume provides the fullest review of the relevant theory and practice of employee engagement. It examines claims that the legislation will help lead to progressive, high-commitment and high-performance workplaces, and it also considers criticisms of this proposition. It includes insights from key parties and reports new cutting-edge research from leading academics. In so doing, it provides a contextualised, balanced and rigorous examination of the issues surrounding informing and consulting employees, thus enabling managers, employee representatives and others to make informed responses."

"With the wide-ranging implications of this legislation, Adding Value through Information and Consultation meets the need of practitioners and students of employment, management and organisations for a thorough analysis of the key issues and choices relating to employee engagement."--Jacket.
