About the Book

This book explores the application of Mahatma Gandhi’s timeless principles to Human Resource Management (HRM) and workplace harmony. Gandhi’s focus on nonviolence, mutual understanding, and respect between individuals remains highly relevant today, especially in fostering peaceful and productive environments within organizations. By emphasizing the importance of harmonious human relations, Gandhi’s philosophy advocates for active participation from all members of an organization, which is essential for genuine development and prosperity.

The book delves into Gandhian Humanism, which advocates for workplaces where collaboration, trust, and shared ownership drive success. Key concepts such as employee involvement, conflict resolution through negotiation, and the creation of mutual benefit among stakeholders are explored. By aligning HR practices with Gandhian principles, the book offers a thoughtful approach to achieving organizational success that is rooted in compassion and ethical values.

Designed for students, educators, business leaders, and HR professionals, the book provides both theoretical insights and practical strategies for cultivating a workplace environment that embodies Gandhi's vision of unity, respect, and collective progress.
