The employment environment and smaller firms

Abstract

Examines the evidence for the utilization of human resource management approaches in smaller firms to shape employee relations in the UK. The influence of global change and volatile markets on the utilization of human resource management in the UK is considered and it is argued, that as small businesses are a significant employer in the private sector, the manner in which human resource management techniques are employed in small firms is critical.
