Active Labour Market Policies aim to assist people not in work into employment through a range of interventions including job search, preparation, training and in-work support and development. While policies, programmes and scholarship predominantly focus on jobseekers’ engagement with these initiatives, this book is the first text to shed light on the employer’s perspective.

Bringing together renowned scholars from social and public policy and human resource management, the book draws on empirical studies, comparative case studies and real-life examples from practice, providing a comprehensive analysis of this under-explored issue.

This go-to resource will inform HRM and public policy scholarship and promote collaborations between the disciplines.

Reviews for Employer Engagement: Making Active Labour Market Policies Work

"""Many studies ask how governments can put the unemployed to work, but few consider the role of employers. Ingold and McGurk have created an essential resource for anyone involved in active labour market policies because their book is the first to look seriously at how employers engage."" Ian Greer, Cornell University"
