It seeks to help you understand how HR law is important both to the day to day operation of an HR department, to the overall organisation, and to the employees themselves.

It is regarded as one of the most approachable and plain-speaking works on the subject, and does a great job of describing the key points of employment law and how they interact with the HR function.

You’ll learn about:

• The latest legislation and regulations that affect the HR function
• Effective methods for delivering top notch HR services
• Modern, relevant case studies and practical examples
• The benefits of early conciliation
• The overlap between HR and H&S
