The human resource management (HRM) landscape in Malta has been transformed by a staggering increase of foreign workers, a demand for more and new skill sets, and an increase in job mobility.

It comes in two sections: the first (9 chapters) reviews the HRM function, broken down into its various components: performance management, recruitment and selection, industrial relations, career development, motivation, creativity, equality, HR analytics, and education and training; the second (12 chapters) offers vital insights as to how organisations, active in the various sectors of the local economy, construe HRM and its challenges in Malta, all within a European and global context.

This timely publication captures the spirit and trials of managing human resources in contemporary Malta.
