Introduction to Employment Relations by R Loudon Book PDF Summary
The second edition of Introduction to Employment Relations takes a broad-based approach to the subject of workplace relations in Australia. Employment relations encompasses all aspects of people at work whereas, historically, industrial relations (IR) and human resource management (HRM) have focused on distinct aspects. The focus of IR is on collective approaches to employment, while for HRM, the emphasis is on more individual approaches. In keeping with its broad-based approach, the book covers the organisation of work, unions and employer associations, awards and agreements, staffing and development, managing performance and rewards, in addition to identifying and explaining the major changes in employment relations in recent years. This book is suitable for introductory courses at undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
