Extensively updated content to reflect recent issues and trends relevant to the hospitality industry including: changing labour market profiles and the 'gig' economy, the digital transformation of HRM practices, employer branding developments, talent management strategies, employee well-being considerations, and contemporary concerns over diversity, gender and harassment at work. Five new chapters on: organizational culture, modern labour markets, emotions and well-being, careers in hospitality, and digital HRM. New international case studies throughout to explore key issues and show real-life applications of HRM in the hospitality industry.
