This includes an examination of managing people at work, the evolution of the human resources (HR) function, and a strategic perspective. Part Two looks at operational challenges, including talent management, ethics and leadership, HRM in an international context, recruitment and selection, employee relations, and misconduct. The last part looks HRM processes, which encompass workforce planning and management; learning, training, and development; managing performance; and managing rewards.
