Recenzje

"A great introduction to what is arguably the most important aspect of people management, given we can neither manage people fairly nor well if we can't as a minimum do it lawfully. A clear, easy-to-read book which is a veritable page-turner in this genre! Highly recommended not just for HR students but for anyone managing people in the UK." Keith F Watson, LL.M, Chartered FCIPD FCMI FLPI, FITOL Director 360 HR Solutions and Tutor on CIPD Qualifications
