Description
Equality and diversity are increasingly important topics in human resource management. Those looking to develop a career in HR or business
management need a solid understanding of the ever-changing policies and practices that underpin the development of a sustainable and
high performing diverse workforce.
Diversity management is a term that covers what would once have been labelled equal opportunities,
including race, disability and sex discrimination, but also broader issues such as individual and cultural differences. Universities
and business schools are increasingly covering the 'business case' for diversity to prepare HR and business managers of the future with
the legal information and research findings to enable them to develop meaningful diversity policies in their organizations.
The
Dynamics of Managing Diversity was one of the first books to respond to growing academic coverage of the topic at advanced undergraduate
and postgraduate level and this third edition has been fully updated to reflect new policies, practices, statistical information and
diversity law, as well as including new case studies and information on International policies outside the UK and Europe. A new companion
and lecturer websites is also available, featuring additional case studies, tutor support materials and links to useful sites and additional
information.
Audience
Level 2 / 3 undergraduates taking modules on managing diversity and those taking postgraduate qualifications in human resource management.
Also applicable to those delivering or studying courses run by the CIPD; Practitioners of equal opportunities and diversity management,
including trade union trainers and consultants.
