The 4th Edition of Human Resource Management by Pravin Durai provides a well-rounded, application-focused resource designed for both students and HR practitioners. It clearly explains fundamental HRM concepts with a practical tone and is enriched by real-world examples drawn from Indian organizations. The book covers the entire HR spectrum—including strategic planning, recruitment, training, performance evaluation, compensation, industrial relations, and HR auditing—while also addressing modern developments such as Green HRM, employer branding, HR analytics, global HRM, and digital transformation in human resources. Designed to bridge the gap between theory and practice, this book is supported by a strong pedagogical structure with defined learning objectives, opening vignettes, case studies, skill-building tasks, summaries, and review questions.
