Canadian Human Resource Management

by Hermann F. Schwind, Krista Uggerslev, Terry Wagar

Schwind Canadian Human Resource A Strategic Approach 12e continues to focus on the strategic contribution of the human resource function in organizations. Schwind presents key concepts, issues, and practices of HR without being encyclopedic. The balanced coverage of theory and practice, traditional materials, and emerging concerns, has made Schwind the choice of over 70 universities and colleges across Canada and has earned it the honour of being the best-selling human resource management text in the country. The focus of the text continues to be the strategic contribution of HR function in organizations; but an explicit recognition of the relationship between HR strategies, tactics, and systems has been incorporated into the model and throughout the text material.

A lot of it is common sense, but the textbook is verbose and trying your attention span hard. Someone made a career out of creating the numerous charts, diagrams, and models featured here. Hint for future students: no matter what process it is, the last step is always Evaluation of results!

Probably one of my favourite textbooks I’ve come across throughout my university career. The case studies were fun and the book was super informative. Well worth the investment.

This textbook definitely contains all of the information needed to pass the course I used it for, but it is not written with busy, tired university students in mind. This book is verbose, long-winded, and repetitive.
