5.0 out of 5 stars A very handy handbook on HRM., June 23, 2001

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.
