About this book

The essential introduction to HR practice for CIPD Foundation learners and early-career professionals.

How can new HR practitioners build the knowledge and confidence to make an immediate impact at work?

Written in an accessible, jargon-free style, the textbook covers the organizational context and legal background before exploring all core HR functions, including recruitment and selection, performance management, reward, learning and development, job analysis and design, employee relations and managing change. This updated edition features new material on HR analytics, organizational culture, and the latest HR technologies, as well as expanded coverage of ethical practice, inclusion and wellbeing as part of the core behaviours expected of people professionals.

Structured learning features include:
- Reflective activities to encourage critical thinking
- Real-world examples linking theory to workplace practice
- 'Explore further' boxes to prompt deeper research
- Updated case content on culture, technology, and analytics
