Book Hero Magic created this recommendation. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! IS THIS YOUR NEXT READ?
This book takes an integrated look at existing human resource management (HRM) policies and practices in the tourism and hospitality industries. Utilizing existing HRM theory and practice, tourism and hospitality industries are put into context, by considering the specific employment practices of these industries, such as managing tour reps or working in the airline industry.
This textbook explores the policies and practices employed in the management of people working in the tourism, hospitality, and events industries. It considers the nature of these industries and the varied approaches that organisations take with the handling of matters such as recruitment, health and welfare, and remuneration.
The book is enriched with topical case studies that describe and illustrate the human resource management behaviour of airlines, hotel chains, and other international companies in the sector, providing a real-world industry perspective. With a clear, reader-friendly layout containing chapter outlines, objectives, and examples of best practice, this is the ideal guide to HRM for any student on a hospitality, tourism, or related course.
