Managing performance is a critical focus of HR activity. Well-designed strategies to recognise and improve performance and focus individual effort can have a dramatic effect on bottom-line results. The problem is to determine what the processes, tools and delivery mechanisms are that will improve performance in your organisation, as well as determine which ones are best avoided. The authors have tracked performance management processes over the past seven years, and their comprehensive survey reveals what leading organisations are doing to manage their employees’ performance and how they

How can strategic HRM make a significant impact to bottom-line performance? Armstrong and Baron de-mystify the concept and practice of ’strategic HRM’ and place it in the context of wider organisational strategy and business goals. This book: explores the framework within which strategic HRM takes place; examines the evidence for the impact of strategic HRM on business performance; looks at how individual HR strategies add up to strategic HRM; and addresses the practical issues involved in implementation.

Now printed in full for the first time, Sons and Lovers is D. H. Lawrence’s most widely read novel and one of the great works of twentieth-century literature. In 1913, at the time of its first publication, Lawrence reluctantly agreed to the removal of no fewer than eighty passages which until now have never been restored. This edition presents the novel in the form that Lawrence himself wanted - about one tenth longer than the incomplete and expurgated version that has hitherto been available. The introduction of this edition relates much new information about Lawrence’s two-year s

Physicists regularly invoke universal laws, like those of motion and electromagnetism, to explain events. Biological and medical scientists have no such laws. How then do they acquire a reliable body of knowledge about biological organisms and human disease? One way is by repeatedly returning to, manipulating, observing, interpreting, and reinterpreting certain subjects--such as flies, mice, worms, or microbes--or, as they are known in biology, "model systems." Across the natural and human sciences, other disciplinary fields have developed canonical examples that have played a
