About the Book

"Human Resources for the Non-HR Manager (2nd Edition)" provides managers from all functional areas with the tools, research, and insights needed to confidently navigate their people management responsibilities. Aimed at line managers, this book recognizes that people management is no longer just the domain of HR professionals but is increasingly handled by front-line managers who are often unprepared for the challenges of managing people.

This edition focuses on managing employees through every stage of the employment lifecycle—from hiring and onboarding to retention and long-term engagement. It also addresses the complexities of managing diverse employees in a post-COVID, hybrid work environment.

Key features of this book include:

• Grounded in Research: Backed by rigorous academic studies, this book provides evidence-based recommendations to equip managers with the confidence to make informed decisions.

• Manager’s Checkpoints and Knots: Practical applications and thought-provoking questions to help managers apply the content to their unique workplace situations.

• Practical for All Managers: Designed for both aspiring and current line managers in any field, this book uses a conversational tone to explain complex concepts without the jargon.

• Instructor Package: Accompanied by a complete package of teaching resources including activities like "Some Assembly Required", "In the News", and "Undercover Manager" that can be used to engage with students at different experience levels.
