India has been identified as one of the biggest emerging markets in the world. Indian organizations have increasingly begun to understand the importance of human resources and have started to take into account the motivation, commitment and morale of its workforce. Despite great advances in human resource practices in India, the relevant literature on this subject remains scarce. This book seeks to fill the critical gap in the literature by providing a thorough understanding of the changing face of Indian HRM systems. Seeking to provide a comprehensive overview of Indian HRM practices, the book is structured into five parts:

• Developments in Indian HRM
• Determinants of Indian HRM
• Sector specific HRM
• Emerging themes
• Future challenges and the way forward

The Changing Face of People Management in India is written exclusively by Indian natives in order to minimise the Western bias and to provide a realistic picture of HRM practices in India. This book is a key resource for anyone studying or working in HRM or international business or with an interest in the unique Indian HRM context.

Increasingly, Indian organizations are able to understand the importance of human resources and have started to take into account the motivation, commitment and morale of its workforce. Many Indian companies, both in the public and private sector, have been hailed for the premium they now put on their human capital.

Addressing the dearth of reliable literature on this subject, the contributions examine a wide selection of issues in the changing face of Indian HRM systems.

These include:

• strategic HRM
• the changing nature of employee relations and labour laws
• talent management
• human resource information systems
• interventions like six sigma and HR processes
• changing psychological contract in different types of organizations.

A detailed and thorough examination of the current state of HRM in India, the expected future landscape and coming challenges, this book is a key resource for all those working and studying in the areas of HRM and international business.
