Prepare future managers with an understanding of HR skills

Managing Human Resources gives students a solid business understanding of human resource (HR) management skills.  It makes human resources relevant to anyone who has to deal with HR issues in the workplace, even those who do not hold the title of manager. Covering new and emerging trends, customer orientation, ethics, and global issues affecting HR, the text gives students a realistic view of the subject as it is actually practiced in business organizations. In addition to thoroughly updating all of the materials, the 9th Edition also introduces a new theme of employability -- referring to HR skills that make students more attractive in the labor market. Coverage of these hot topics, which are foremost in the minds of students, prepares them to be more employable managers, supervisors, and team leaders with valuable HR knowledge.

Pearson eText is a simple-to-use, mobile-optimized, personalized reading experience that can be adopted on its own as the main course material. It lets students highlight, take notes, and review key vocabulary all in one place, even when offline. Seamlessly integrated videos and other rich media engage students and give them access to the help they need, when they need it. Educators can easily customize the table of contents, schedule readings and share their own notes with students so they see the connection between their eText and what they learn in class -- motivating them to keep reading, and keep learning. And, reading analytics offer insight into how students use the eText, helping educators tailor their instruction.
