The author set forth traditional human resoures functions such as recruitment and selection, performance evaluation, and compensation and benefits, with the human resources perspective of the 21st century: changing, empowering, strategic management, and team-building.I also find this book to be relevant to theory. the author's discussion of traditional human resources theories served to refresh my knowledge of the issues and functions of human resources management.The text was not difficult to read, but covered the topics comprehensively and provided ample case study examples.
