Acknowledgements

Writing a textbook requires the cooperation and support of many people. Canadian Human Resource Management is no exception. We are thankful to the many students, instructors, researchers, and practitioners who have used and commented on our last edition. Ultimately, it is the users of a book who can tell us about what we did right in the past and what we should do in the future. We hope the readers will find this thirteenth edition even more useful in teaching and learning about human resource management.

A very special thank-you goes to Amy Clarke-Spencley, Veronica Saroli, Jack Whelan, Laurel Spar row, and Monika Schurmann, who, with their special expertise, guided us toward a better product.

And, f inally, we would like to express our deeply felt thanks to those who assisted us in many tangible and intangible ways: Hermann, Ruth, Neil, Leslie, and Krista.
