This long-awaited fourth edition of the ‘Handbook of Employment Relations, Law and Practice’ (originally published as the ‘Handbook of Industrial Relations Practice’) has been revised to reflect these changes. In this comprehensive handbook, a host of acknowledged experts have been brought together to consider all aspects of employment relations. Topics include:
the influence of the EU;
employment relations and the information society;
unfair dismissal;
health and safety;
pay working time and other employment rights;
alternative dispute resolution;
managing the employment relationship;
employment relations in smaller firms;
trade unions;
pay and performance;
sickness and absence;
training and development;
managing change.
‘The Handbook of Employment Relations, Law and Practice’ is an invaluable source of guidance and practical advice for resolving day-to-day issues that arise in the workplace. Practitioners, students and managers alike will find it an essential tool that they will refer to again and again.
‘Comprehensive, accessible and up to date, the handbook's new edition once again demonstrates how indispensable it has become.’
John Monks, General Secretary of the European TUC
‘A very well-drawn roadmap of the changing employment relations landscape.
Insightful and comprehensive, the Handbook's academic rigour is solidly based
in workplace realities.’
Ward Griffiths, Chair of West Kent NHS and Social Care Trust
‘Are trade unions making a sharp turn to the left? Is New Labour old Tory
when it comes to employment issues? Brian Towers' handbook goes behind the
headlines and rhetoric to examine the main aspects of the changing face of
work. An excellent book in terms of relevance, context and breadth of
analysis.’
Christine Buckley, Industrial Editor, The Times
'This fully-revised and comprehensive guide comes at a significant time as EU legislation exerts an increasing and largely welcome influence upon the form and content of the British employment relationship.'
Robert Taylor, Associate Fellow, Centre for Economic Performance, London School of Economics
