Check out the synopsis for Jo’s book, ‘Employer Engagement: Making Active Labour Market Policies Work’, published by Bristol University Press:
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 employer’s 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 underexplored issue.
This go-to resource will inform human resources management and public policy scholarship and promote collaborations between the disciplines.
