Reviews
"The easy- to-follow format and up-to-date case studies that illustrate the underpinning theories will be useful to students learning about the topic for the first time as well as to HR practitioners and people managers in the workplace. It is a handy reference guide with tips to build up skills when deciding on both ethical and strategic choices and practical actions to take in a specific context to stay within the existing legal framework." * Linda Holden, Freelance CIPD Tutor and HR Trainer *
"For those interested in understanding and learning employee relations, this is an exceptional book with a well-structured critical text, conceptual rigour, engaging case studies, empirical richness, up-to-date examples and thoughtful balance between theory and practice. What else is desired in a complete book? Yet, Elizabeth Aylott offers us more, no less than a brand-new sense of complex employment relations in a simple, concise, and clear way for the 21st century. Positively recommended for an invaluable learning experience." * Dr M Naseer Akhtar, Associate Editor, 'Employee Relations', Senior Lecturer in HRM and People Analytics, Royal Docks School of Business and Law, University of East London, UK *
"Employee Relations is an easy-to-read, practical and informative guide packed full with case studies and up to date research, making it an invaluable resource for HR students, practitioners and business managers." * Debbie Paddington, HR Business Partner, The Kent Autistic Trust *
"The political and economic landscape both at home in the UK and internationally, is built on the shifting sands of unprecedented change, which is actively shaping and changing the world of work and how organisations develop and maintain positive working relationships with the modern-day employee. While employee relations naturally fall under the wider umbrella of HRM, it is a complex area of people management practice which requires practitioners to have a deep understanding of the relationship between employer and employee and how this relationship is intrinsically woven into the fabric of UK employment law and industrial relations. Employee Relations is the essential text for practitioners at all stages of their careers for developing and maintaining a deep understanding of employee in relations in practice." * Nathaniel Andrews, Founder and CEO at Okana Limited *
"This is a bookshelf essential that strikes the right balance between theory and practice in relation to the subject of employee relations. The book is not only for HR personnel but also for those in leadership positions aspiring to build and maintain mutually beneficial relationships with their team members. As an MD I have found the book to be practical, insightful and engaging - an invaluable resource overall!" * Dianne Ramdeen, Managing Director, Quartic Training *
