Features

· “HRM How To” boxes are found in every chapter and discuss the steps real companies have actually taken to creating valuable programs for their employees. This feature reinforces the text’s focus on what human resource staffers actually DO.

· “Best Practices” boxes appear in each chapter and show specific company examples of what is working well. These real-world examples illustrate actual company policies that have been successfully put in place and help students apply chapter concepts to real-world business practices.

· Technology is a major issue in all areas of business, and human resource management is no exception to that rule. To underscore its importance, the authors include “e-HRM” boxes appear in each chapter, which emphasize the use of technology in the HRM function today.

· “What Do I Need to Know?” questions open each chapter. These thought-provoking queries bring attention to the key topics found in the chapter and they are reinforced in the margins of the book as well. These questions are designed to motivate and to provide a map for the student through the chapter content.

· Key terms with definitions are highlighted within the text margin where they first appear. This pedagogical tool is a useful device for test preparation and key concept review.
· End-of-chapter material includes chapter summary, chapter discussion questions, Business Week cases, and other end-of-chapter cases. Summaries recap the “What Do I Need to Know?” questions from the beginning of each chapter and simply reiterate only the key points from the chapter. The discussion questions check comprehension of key chapter concepts and the case materials encourage critical thinking. BusinessWeek Cases proved especially intriguing to reviewers, as instructors consistently praised the inclusion of rich materials like these that enable them to supplement their lectures with examples built into the text. Video cases appear at the end of each part.
