Description:	Students taking an HRM class are very likely to be taking it as an elective class or a first class toward an HRM major. Both of these groups need a strong foundation book that provides the essential elements of HRM as well as a clear understanding of how HRM links with business strategy. It is becoming increasingly important for employees on every level of the organization to understand HRM elements such as recruitment, training, motivation, retention, safety, and the legal environment. These fundamentals will not create experts in HRM, yet for those who wish to become experts, this book will provide that strong foundation upon which additional coursework in HRM can be built. The objectives and content in this text have been created to be compatible with the content areas and curriculum templates developed and suggested by the Society of Human Resource Management (SHRM). The minimum HR content areas as identified by SHRM include: ■ Compensation, benefits, and total rewards ■ Employee and labor relations ■ Employment law ■ History of HR and its role ■ HR and globalization ■ HR and mergers and acquisitions ■ HR and organizational strategy ■ Human resource information systems (HRIS) ■ Measuring HR outcomes and the bottom line ■ Occupational health, safety, and security ■ Performance appraisal and feedback Like a crew sailing an ocean race, success and possibly survival depends on a good crew that understands the strategy and can adapt quickly to the unpredictable environment. ■ Recruiting and selection ■ Workforce planning and talent management Content of the text has also been developed to provide a background in the functional areas identified by the HR Certification Institute (HRCI) for the exams for certification for Professional in Human Resources (PHR), Senior Professional in Human Resources (SPHR) and Global Professional in Human Resources (GPHR). Our goal has been to produce a text that addresses these critical foundations of HRM, yet provide the most current reference possible for the dynamic present and unpredictable future environment of HRM. All research has been updated and examples have been kept as current as possible considering the timeline necessary for publishing a textbook. Some examples will undoubtedly change quickly and unexpectedly. Please consider this an opportunity to research how and why these changes took place and their implications for HRM. Many sources for research and updates have been included in the chapter content and HRM Workshop learning activities.
