Seminar 6
Trust and HRM bundles and interactions

This seminar will draw together the ideas from the earlier seminars focussing upon the interactions between HRM processes and trust. Keynotes will offer insights into different HR assemblage. We will also explore the impact of trust on wider on organisational aspects, such as competitiveness.
