Baptiste, Senior Lecturer in the Department of Management Studies, Faculty of Social Sciences, UWI, launched his new book, “Human Resource Management: A Reader for Students and Practitioners” on September 7th 2011.

The book contributes to Caribbean scholarship in the area of Human Resource Management by adding to the small body of empirical Human Resource Studies conducted in Trinidad and Tobago. It includes knowledge specific to the local environment and provides practitioners with food for thought and assistance with planning Human Resource Management interventions, as it points the way for further research. The book is not only targeted to academics and practitioners in the field, but also to the general public.

Before pursuing an academic career, Dr. Baptiste served as the Head of the Central Training Unit (Personnel Department) and Chief Personnel Officer, Government of Trinidad and Tobago. Currently he lectures in Human Resource Management, Organizational Behaviour, Organizational Development and Human Resource Development.
Dr. Baptiste’s book, “Human Resource Management: A Reader for Students and Practitioners” will be available in all major book stores and the UWI Bookshop.
