Employer Engagement

Active labour market policies aim to assist people not in work to move into employment through a range of interventions including job search, preparation, training and in-work support and development. While policies, programmes and scholarship predominantly focus on jobseekers engagement with these initiatives, this book is the first text to shed light on the employers perspective. Bringing together renowned scholars from social and public policy and human resource management, the book draws on empirical research, comparative case studies and real-life examples from practice, providing a comprehensive analysis of this under-explored issue. This go-to resource will inform HRM and public policy scholarship and promote collaborations between the disciplines.
