"An engaging and practical overview of organizational research methods. The application of commonly used approaches to explore important topics - such as recruitment & selection, learning & development, performance management, reward, employee relations, strategic HRM, talent management and DEI - is particularly valuable, and is complemented by a suite of supplementary online chapters. Whilst this book is aimed at students and practitioners in the field of HRM, its accessible style, breadth of coverage, and range of useful resources, should make it relevant to a far wider audience. Joseph-Richard encourages and supports the reader to expand their repertoire of methodologies to produce valuable evidence-based insights for professional practice."
