Explores the policy and practice of strategic human resource management. Specific SHRM strategies are examined in the context of a case study. Adopts a practical approach to the concepts and practice of SHRM.
This paper aims to enhance the interface between students and the practice of Strategic Human Resource Management (SHRM). It provides the opportunity for students to consider the issues involved in the practice of human resource management (HRM) in the context of the changing world of work. Specific HRM strategies focused around entry to, maintenance of and exit from the organisation are explored both theoretically and in an applied sense. Thus, the emphases in this paper are both theoretical and practical. As well as providing a set of skills and tools for students to take with them into the workforce, it also provides ample scope for students to experience HRM and to benefit from the experiences of practitioners currently working within the HRM profession.
