In 21st century organizations all students of management, regardless of their technical or professional specialization, will need to understand their human resources role. The managerial perspective that distinguished the first Canadian edition of Managing Human Resources continues to be emphasized in the exciting second edition. And now students can use the latest technology to test and develop the approach and skills they learn from the text. In addition to the standard array of review tools, our Companion Website provides features that challenge students to think strategically, including Experiential Exercises, Internet Exercises, Essay Questions, and Cases.
The features of the Companion Website include:

Online Quizzes: Interactive quizzes of multiple choice, true/false, and short essay questions provide students with instant feedback and coaching for incorrect answers.
Experiential Exercises: Students evaluate real-world issues through exercises relating to their own experiences.
Internet Exercises: These hands-on network activities enhance and reinforce understanding of important topics in each chapter while at the same time building Internet research skills.
Cases: Four online cases provide the opportunity for students to analyze complex situations requiring managerial decisions.
Research Resources: Point and click your way to a wealth of information using our research tools: Destinations (updated Weblinks from every chapter of the book, as well as links to other reference materials relating to key topics), Net Search (key terms from the text that can be dropped into the search engine of your choice), and Net News (connections to business news groups).
Updates, HR Resources, and FAQs: Find out what happened to the companies and individuals featured in our CBC videos through our Update section. The HR Resources feature consists of an annotated description of key periodicals for managers and HR specialists. The FAQ feature enables you to direct questions to the Canadian author of the text.
Feedback: Make your voice heard, and let us know what you think about Managing Human Resources and its Companion Website.
Syllabus Builder: This feature enables instructors to easily create online classes and an online syllabus linked to specific modules in the Web site.
Instructors: For instructors, we have added a special password-protected area containing useful supplements for downloading.
