A significant proportion of workers in any given organisation are employed by another firm under agency or outsourcing service agreements. Through a combination of pioneering legal analysis and rigorous case-study research, this book demonstrates that 'non-employees' are often the organisations most important resource.

Recenzje

“Patricia Leighton has put her finger on an important fact. Non-employees have skills to offer that are intimately bound up with the way they work. We ought to value them more – and this book goes a long way towards showing how this should be done.” John Raywood, HR Manager, GlaxoSmithKline

“Patricia Leighton argues very effectively that good management is about fitting individuals into organizations and understanding the balance between people performance and management.” Nic Stevens, Chief Executive, RSA
