EEO practice, and human resource management practid (HRM) more generally, have been difficult to promote in an environment where "effective and efficient" use of resources has not always meant viewing staff as valued assets. This book reviews EEO progress to date from the viewpoints of key participants, bringing together the perspectives of academics and practitioners on key issues for EEO and HRM practice,a nd looks ahead at what the future holds in terms of making the vision a reality." -- Back cover.
