Contemporary HRM Issues in the 21st Century is an illuminating textbook for postgraduate students and active managers wanting to develop their understanding of issues and challenges emerging in the 21st century workplace from a HRM perspective.

This edited collection, with contributions from experts in the field of HR policy development, is split into four sections. Section One explores the contemporary workforce and critical elements of managing HRM in a knowledge-based economy. Section Two focuses on psychological concerns for the individual at work, career management and emotional labour to better understand how to manage an increasingly diverse workforce. Section Three looks at managing HR issues in the workplace, such as crisis management, mental health and violence in the workplace.

The final section of this book looks at current and emerging debates surrounding HRM, including: sustainable HRM; cyber-vetting; biological monitoring and surveillance; codes and conduct; job-design in the age of technology; and, Artificial Intelligence (AI). All of these are vital and often contentious areas within HRM policy-making and practice. This book sets out these debates and issues to engage both students and managers working in the fields of Global HRM and Human Resource policy-making.

Industry Reviews

'This succinct, tightly written book moves beyond the 'usual' (and much covered) issues of standard HRM texts to address some of the livelier current debates on the subject. It includes talent management, career management, crisis management, mental health and well-being, drug testing, employee vetting and sustainable HRM. By updating knowledge on these contemporary issues, this book is a valuable addition to any scholar's bookshelf.' -- Chris Brewster, Professor of International HRM, Henley Business School, University of Reading, UK
'This excellent book makes a valuable contribution to the broadly based HRM discipline in Australia. The author is clearly at the cutting edge of the development of HRM in Australia in the context of a growing Asia-Pacific economic area. I highly recommend this book for students, academics and HR practitioners.' -- Peter J. Dowling, Emeritus Professor of International Management & Strategy, La Trobe University, Australia
