Strategic Compensation and Talent Management is a modern guide for managers and students navigating the complexities of pay, incentives, and workforce strategy in today's dynamic business environment. Written in a clear, conversational style, it blends real-world insights with foundational theory and invites readers to step into the manager's role to solve practical problems around attracting, retaining, and motivating talent. Expanded from 15 to 21 chapters, this second edition adds new content on performance management, remote and hybrid work, AI-driven compensation, pay transparency and evolving workforce expectations. A robust visual toolkit – including new diagrams and frameworks – enhances conceptual clarity, and all 50 real-world case discussions are now hosted online to support flexible teaching and group learning. With practical 'lessons for managers' in every chapter and a rich suite of teaching resources – including test banks, syllabi, and case materials – this text is both a classroom asset and a professional reference.
