Human Resource Management in Singapore The Complete Guide

'Human Resource is our most precious asset. Progressive HR enhances human capital. Regressive HR depresses it. HR practitioners are entrusted with heavy responsibility. They must equip themselves with the knowledge and skills so that they could multiply the human capital under their care. This HR management series is timely. It is written in the Singapore context guided by our local employment laws and tripartite guidelines and standards. I commend the authors for their endeavour to produce such a first.'
