HRM: Human Resources Management

We know we should speak up and question what is being taken as normal in our work cultures -- to notice and call out bad behaviour and resist being silenced. This book is a guide to what it takes to do this in a way that doesn't expose you to the countermeasures of people who do not like being questioned. What is explored through case studies and personal experience are ideas about how to resist being silenced at work where there are competing demands on your time and energy and where people have learnt to tolerate bad and uncivil behaviours just to get the work done.

A hands-on approach to cross-cultural management that can apply to a wide variety of organizational contexts. Rather than focusing on specific countries, the authors highlight the interactions of people from different cultures in organizational settings to provide practical applications of concepts in international management.

HR for Hybrid Working covers everything that people professionals need to succeed in a hybrid working model and manage the transition to this new way of working. It shows why and how contractual documents, policies, pay and reward terms need to change, how to manage changing employee expectations and how to assess and communicate to staff what work can be done partially remotely and manage the impact on company culture. There is also insight on how to adapt learning and development (L&D) and wellbeing activities to ensure they support employee development.

This hilarious and profound workplace guide proves the rigorously rational and the supremely sympathetic can meet in the middle and merge their strengths. Readers will discover how blending with their opposite opens the pathway to being their truest selves.
