“A refreshing approach to HRM that highlights the importance of HRM in maintaining and building the bottom line for companies and enhancing work environments.”
“The practice and science of HR come together!”
“I would say that this HR textbook is a more research-focused and data-driven textbook. It really focuses on the importance of leveraging data to make more informed HR decisions. It is evidence-based and draws more heavily on research. I think it is a textbook that would challenge our students more and better prepare them for the changing nature of human resources.”
“[This is] an upper-level HRM textbook that presents material with a data-focused approach. The textbook covers traditional HRM concepts such as job analysis, talent management, and occupational safety and health through the use of a data-analytics approach, in which students actually practice implementing HRM decisions using data.”
“[This is] the start of a new era in HR textbooks by linking content to the SHRM competencies and making the concepts more applicable in practice using the EBDM approach.”
“Very quantitative in its application. References a great deal of research from SHRM and heavy emphasis on data analytics.”
“The text provides relevant and current research data through real world scenarios which impacts current HRM challenges.”
“This text provides a very engaging and illustrative overview and analysis of current topics in HRM. It engages the students to think beyond the content of the book and evaluate how they have been or how they want to be treated in organizations from an HR perspective.”
“This text is an excellent Introduction to Human Resources text. Its major advantage over competing books is the conveying the growing importance of analytics in HR management.”
“This textbook is very well written and extremely detailed. I feel like all of the HR books I have used are not this in-depth in their scope nor do they cover so many important topics. In addition, all of the information in the text is supported by research and current real-world examples.”
