The theme of the book is about responding to organizational and environmental change and the people skills that will be required for this in the twenty-first century.   A system model of how the different parts of HR fit together is included, with the acknowledgement that different contexts require different approaches, and the role of the individual manager is considered within them. The stakeholder perspective is examined as it affects the management of people, and links human resource management policy and practice to financial results. This new edition also reflects the modern move towards performance management as an organizational business strategy. The role of leadership at all levels of the organization is also emphasized.  There is a new chapter on managing challenging situations, such as the management of diversity, power, stress, and conflict, as well as the handling of grievances and discipline.   Another new chapter pulls together the increasingly important aspects of the legal regulation of behaviour at work, and stresses the move from collective relationships to individual rights in the workplace.   This text is suitable for use on the Chartered Management Institute Diploma level modules on recruitment and selection, managing performance, and developing teams and individuals. It is also to be used for NVQ courses in HRM at levels 4 and 5 and is valuable for HR Professionals and line managers.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49599943606545,"sku":"GOR001426576","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49955076866321,"sku":"GOR003387128","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50363927593233,"sku":"CIN0750656182G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0750656182.jpg?v=1750848666"},{"product_id":"managing-people-book-rosemary-thomson-9780750606660","title":"Managing People","description":"This title is about managing individuals and groups, motivating a team, choosing and developing staff, leading a team and understanding organizational culture.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49631120195857,"sku":"GOR003033452","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0750606665.jpg?v=1751232830"},{"product_id":"managing-people-book-rosemary-thomson-9780750633888","title":"Managing People","description":"Rosemary Thomson has updated her best-selling textbook to include material from the recent Management Development to the Millennium report entitled 'What should a manager do?'.

A growing trend over the last two decades has given these managers an increasing amount of responsibility of direct line management, which can be extremely challenging especially if the correct training is not given.  This book examines how the different parts of managing people fit together, whilst acknowledging that different contexts require different approaches and recognizing ongoing organizational, environmental and legal changes that affect the employment framework. It recognizes the rapidly changing context in which modern front-line managers have to operate and acknowledges the increasing expectations of good leadership as a necessity. However, the book also emphasizes the need for front-line managers to understand themselves, their own management styles and attitudes, together with the importance of empathy in appreciating the perspectives of the staff that work under them.  Managing People: A Practical Guide for Front-Line Managers is designed for both new managers and for NVQ\/SVQ Level 4 students. It is also appropriate for the first stages of Foundation Degrees and for HND courses combining academic study with workplace learning.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49914243711249,"sku":"GOR013812163","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50439262470417,"sku":"GOR008802187","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52334073610513,"sku":"NLS9780415713542","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53365882781969,"sku":"NIN9780415713542","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0415713544.jpg?v=1751039282"},{"product_id":"people-management-book-rosemary-thomson-9780752813592","title":"People Management","description":"With organisations becoming increasingly flatter and team-centred, the ability to manage people effectively has become a core skill for all managers.
