After a long time, it's good to have come across a book which gives detailed information on Human Resource Management. The author has covered all aspects of HRM in detail, right from the evolution of HRM to key roles, legal aspects, payroll, compensation and benefits, IT in HR, health and safety, etc. Each aspect has been looked at from a different perspective, keeping the current scenario in mind. This book will benefit both current HR professionals and future HR managers.
