What is Strategic Human Resource Management : Corporate Rhetoric and Human Reality about?

Life is tough in organizations, both for managers and the managed. Negotiating the rapids of restructuring, downsizing, and refocusing the core business brings with it huge upheavals in job security, the smashing of traditional career structures, and a constant imperative for employees to update their skills while working in an environment of great uncertainty. Based on collaboration with a number of high profile organizations - BT, Citibank, Glaxo Wellcome, Hewlett Packard, Kraft Jacobs, Suchard, Lloyds-TSB Group, the NHS, and WH Smith - this book sheds light on the organizational responses to large scale changes and details the changing demands made of employees in the process. The book aims to go beyond fashionable management rhetoric to uncover the reality of human resource management. Areas examined include: the organizational strategies pursued in the face of fast-changing circumstances; the links between what is intended and what is realized; the way in which HR interventions impact on the individual; and the influence which HR strategies have on everyday management behaviour
