Author's Expertise

With a wealth of experience across the management and leadership fields, Neil Thompson addresses highly relevant and important contemporary topics for organizations across the world: mental health and wellbeing, diversity and inclusion, health and safety and workload management. The book draws on a much wider range of theoretical literature than is usually the case in the management and HR field and, in so doing, avoids the oversimplifications that are commonly found. It offers a holistic perspective incorporating sociological and spiritual elements that are often missing from the mainstream management literature. Written clearly and accessibly, and with learning guidance offered in each chapter, the book is relevant and useful to professionals as well as to students.
