Description This book examines the progress made in e-enabling the HR function and the relationship with outsourcing. The editors will review and
analyse recent developments in the application of outsourcing and ICT to the HR function and its overall contribution to organizational
aims.
This text aims to fill the gap in current literature, by providing accessible guidance on how to tackle the e-enablement of the
function and on the factors associated with successful outsourcing. There is no single text that adequately deals with this increasingly
important problem and which has been recognised by the CIPD as a key area of research for their forward programme. The contributors all
have leading-edge knowledge and practical experience and aim to provide practical guidance for organizations and HR professionals.
Audience
