The large number of small employers in Canada is the driving force behind this book on human resources management (HRM). These small enterprises employ most employees in Canada. The human resources operations of these small employers (e.g., compensation and benefits, occupational health and safety, temporary hiring, and performance measurement) have a great impact on the wellness of employees, the quality of their work and the productivity of the economy overall. A book of this nature, with an emphasis on enabling these small employers to manage human resources effectively, contributes to the continuous improvement of business operation and economic growth. Most books in this field focus on larger organizations and are as not particularly relevant to smaller employers. This book provides these smaller employers with the right resources. The starting point of this book is that smaller employers may not have a dedicated human resources function. The book is written for smaller businesses whose management, professional and administrative staff have multiple responsibilities including people-related tasks. While not all HR tasks have shortcuts, this book provides general outlines on key components of HRM that need to be adhered to, as well as easy-to-follow steps for execution. It also includes tools and templates that can be adapted and used in any organization. It is designed for HR soloists in smaller organizations, payroll practitioners, accountants (including public accountants advising smaller businesses), administrators, office managers, general managers and business owners, as well as students in business programs.
