Abstract

Professionalised human resource management (HRM) research ignores hidden inequalities such as work that is non-compliant with prevailing employment regulation; accordingly it is necessary to extend the reach of HRM research to recognise this omission. Firstly, both compliant informalisation, frequently referred to as casualisation and non-compliant informalisation, centre on in-work exploitation, precariousness and vulnerability. Secondly, these hidden inequalities enable a re-skilled human resource function to deliver value to business owners and investors. These arguments on hidden inequalities are important to HRM research because the socio-economic origins of informal work practices and associated hidden inequalities lie in formalised practice often under the label of best way strategic HRM.
