Amazon.co.uk Review
Before such workplace innovations as e-mail and microwaves in the staff rooms, there were personnel departments who placed job adverts, dutifully sorted applications and passed round the odd memo on staff incentive schemes. Today we have HR divisions, as business finally realises that its best resource is the human element of its organisation. This book is a complete manual for the new breed of manager who sees staff as something more than numbers on the payroll. Everything you need to develop strategies for recruiting, training and motivating staff is here. From the job description to the golden handshake. Beginning with the basics of what makes an effective HR manager, through to recognising your staff's needs and meeting them, to overcoming barriers to organisational motivation and rewarding good employees. This book is filled with useful models on everything from how to formalise policies (such as health and safety), training, equal opportunities monitoring and keeping good HR records. At its basic level, it is an invaluable tool for anyone who has staff to deal with as it sets out simply and practically how to manage your company's most important asset--its people. This is the seventh edition of this manual and the author has included new chapters on the employment relationship, selection interviewing, performance management and organisational culture. --Kristen Bowditch

Practical and Relevant to all Managers in an organisation,
By A Customer
This review is from: A Handbook of Human Resource Management Practice (Paperback)
As a CIMA Student, I have found this book extremely useful for Paper 11 (OM) and no doubt will find it just a useful in later papers. As a supervisor I have found it practical and helpful in all areas of work directly and indirectly linked with staff management. A very good reference book for managers and students alike.

Enthusiastic review of all encompassing HRM handbook,
By A Customer
This review is from: A Handbook of Human Resource Management Practice (Paperback)
Michael Armstrongs book is an invaluable tool for anyone new to management or to general HRM.His topic coverage is so wide ranging as to leave nothing uncovered and whilst the number of topics does not lend itself to huge indepth coverage, it gives you more than enough information to be able to practically use. Should you wish to research further into any topic, there are numerous excellent references. I have been using the book in conjuction with my P&D masters degree but find that I use it just as much in my day to day work. The issues covered range from strategic HRM to specic team focus issues (motivation, teamworking etc) and in between cover the whole gamut of HRM from recruitment to employee realtions,from organisational learning to knowledge management. Nothing is omitted. If you are new to management, this book could become your bible. I highly recommend it.

A very handy handbook on HRM.,
By kkant@singnet.com.sg - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: A Handbook of Human Resource Management Practice (Paperback)
I'd rate this book a must have for anyone who is remotely involved in HRM. Line managers and supervisors will be well advised to keep the book handy. It is a handbook you can dip into and get a quick introduction to any subject related to Human Resources Management. It may not cover some topics in depth as one would like but it captures the essence and key ideas about the topics. It is indeed a classic. For those who may be looking for something hands-on, you wish to look at Mr Armstrong's other book, "How to be an Even Better Manager", which is a complete A-Z of proven and essential skills. With the two books, you should have a fairly good grasp of HRM matters.
