Evolving practices in human resource management

"In this book, a team of noted practitioners and researchers - including Morgan McCall, Joel Moses, David Noer, and Benjamin Schneider - explore how shifts in demographics, economics, regulations, technology, and values have affected, and will continue to affect, the practices human resource managers and industrial/organizational psychologists employ to enhance organizational effectiveness and the individual's sense of personal and social fulfillment." "Addressing specific human resource functions, the contributors examine the assumptions that underlie traditional HR practice and reveal areas where new realities demand new strategies. Readers will discover exciting innovations in team management, in creating greater worker involvement and diversity, in selecting and grooming leaders, and in using organizational surveys, among other strategies and techniques. They will also find sage advice on how to ready HR for a host of challenges yet to come."--Jacket.
