Human resources for the non-HR manager

"This book explains why human resource issues are increasingly the responsibility of front-line managers, and not the HR department. Chapters present the basics of HR - the fundamentals of hiring, performance appraisal, reward systems, and disciplinary systems - so that any manager, regardless of his or her background or functional area, can approach these parts of the job with confidence. The book also covers the latest developments in equal opportunity law and describes the manager's responsibilities in controlling sexual harassment and managing diverse employees, including older workers and employees with disabilities."--Jacket.
