About the book
Principles of Human Resource Management by Harvard Business School professor D. Quinn Mills reviews the key concepts of HR management and offers practical guidance for managers with HR responsibilities within today's complex organizations.

In his book, Dr. Mills covers the vital tasks of recruiting, screening, interviewing, training, appraising, disciplining, rewarding, and developing the employee - both for business and non-profit enterprises.

Principles of Human Resource Management addresses several key questions that managers face: How can they select the best candidate from a large, diverse pool of high-quality applicants? Which managerial approaches work best in applying performance management systems? How can managers develop and retain their employees? Which legal issues must managers be aware of? How can an organization meet its diversity goals? Principles of Human Resource Management shares years of experience and expertise in a readily accessible framework, with a focus on the human side of management.
