Trust in HRM seminar: Pre-entry and Organisational Entry

Location: Coventry University

Website: http://www.open.ac.uk/socialsciences/trustinhrm/

This seminar will focus on the start of the HRM cycle and examine applicant pre-entry and entry focusing on the development and maintenance of trust in the organisation. Leading researchers (including Prof Neil Anderson, Dr. Neil Conway & Prof Jon Billsberry) will lead a critical appraisal of trust at the inception of the HR cycle. Particular topics of interest will include developing a deeper understanding of organisational attraction and how conceptualisations of trust create new perspectives on the two-way exchange process of selection. In illustrating this pre-entry we will include practitioners with insight into high volume applications for whom it is important to retain rejected applicants as they are also part of their customer pool. In addition the speakers will look at the psychological contract and its relations with trust.
