Hello john0108-ga,

You are right in recognizing that ?HRM is a vary large area? and that
it?s important to divide your research into manageable subject areas.
I?ve taken your invitation to suggest some areas that are easy to
investigate and provided you with a collection of starting points that
help you do this. I?ve listed some portals, directories and HR
mega-sites that will give you a good overview of the field and help
you with segmenting it by topic areas. Using these resources you will
be able to find lots of links to help you with the topics you listed
in your question. In addition to these general resources I?ve also
included short sections with specific resources for the topics you?ve
listed to help you get started.

Please don?t hesitate to ask for clarification on what I?ve provided
if any of this isn?t clear.

I wish you well with your research project.

The European Industrial Relations Observatory (EIRO) is a monitoring
instrument offering news and analysis on European industrial
relations. A project of the European Foundation for the Improvement of
Living and Working Conditions, EIRO began its operations in 1997. Its
aim is to collect, analyse and disseminate high-quality and up-to-date
information on key developments in industrial relations in Europe. It
aims primarily to serve the needs of national and European level
organisations of the social partners, governmental organisations and
EU institutions.

http://www.eiro.eurofound.eu.int/1999/06/feature/uk9906108f.html 
TUC's partnership agenda wins qualified support from government and employers 
In recent years, the TUC has been advocating a "partnership" approach
to industrial relations designed to promote improvements in employment
security, flexibility, training and competitiveness (UK9903187F). ?.
The TUC has therefore been keen to emphasise that the key element
trade unions bring to a partnership is an independent employee
"voice".

http://www.tuc.org.uk/partnership/index.cfm
Trades Union Congress 

The TUC has a longstanding commitment to partnerships between unions
and employers. Partnerships at work can deliver higher productivity,
improved performance and successful changes to workplace organisation.
Partnership enables unions to play an active role in shaping an
organisation's policy and strategy, and increases union involvement in
organisational change.

Hello again john0108-ga,

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to clarify my answer. It seems
you?re looking for suggestions of specific companies that have dealt
with the HR issues you listed in your original question.

Here are some companies that have been mentioned in the press for the
excellence of their HR practices. I suggest that you choose one that
is of greatest interest to you and then conduct further research on
how they implemented their successful HR strategies. Look up their web
page and search for articles in the HR, trade and business press about
their HR practices.

Best wishes for your project.
