Information Age Publishing Combating Workplace Violence: Creating and
Book SynopsisToday the threat of violence impacting worker safety and business operations is a major concern. It is crucial that thoughtful violence prevention policies and supporting violence response plans be developed before any incidents occur in order to properly prepare to use, respond, engage, and react appropriately. Once violence begins or ends is not good enough. The threats are real, and the risks must be managed. A violent threat from a current or former employee, domestic violence or relationship violence spillovers, and the threat posed by criminals committing crimes against people and property are concerns for which all organizations must prepare. Incident avoidance is not acceptable – indeed, most likely not possible. Our job is to make it manageable.This book, Combating Workplace Violence, provides a basic understanding of workplace violence as well as prevention policy and plan development in nontechnical terms. The key to the successful development and implementation of a w+orkplace prevention policy is the collaborative proactive leadership of company executives and management and the assistance of a qualified, reputable consultant. While the information and tools contained here are designed to serve as a baseline for any organization's solution to workplace violence, the material is useful to inform and educate any member of an organization. The unique framework (V-REEL®) for analyzing the organization's internal environment to determine what can be done to try to eradicate or reduce workplace violence is especially useful. Ancillaries following each chapter provide additional information and tools to assist your planning. We envision this book being used to inform managers, human resource professionals, workers, and academics in all types of organizations. Hopefully, using the material and framework of this book, more organizations will develop policies, procedures, and practices to prevent workplace violence.

Oxford University Press, USA Work and Pay in 20th Century Britain
Book SynopsisFrom assembly line to call centre, this volume charts the immense transformation of work and pay across the 20th century and provides the first labour focused history of Britain. Written by leading British historians and economists, each chapter stands as a self-contained reading for those who need an overview of the topic, as well as an introduction to and analysis of the controversies among scholars for readers entering or refreshing deeper study. The 20th century was a period of unrivalled change in the British labour market. Technology, social movements, and political action all contributed to an increased standard of living, while also revolutionizing what workers do and how they do it. Covering a range of topics from lifetime work patterns and education to unemployment and the welfare state, this book provides a practical introduction to the evolution of work and pay in 20th century Britain.Trade ReviewThis is an important and interesting book. The chapters of this book, each written by appropriate experts, dig down and uncover the forces at work and the complex interactions between them. The rise and fall of trade unions, the rise of the service sector, the decline in fertility, the fall and rise of earnings dispersion are some of the dramatic changes which are analysed and explained. Overall, the book builds a picture of the workings of the 20th century British labour market which will fascinate anyone interested in how the world works. * Stephen Nickell, Warden of Nuffield College, Oxford University *The British labor market experienced a series of dramatic transformations in the course of the 20th century. Is the current regime of high employment and wage flexibility here to stay, or is it just another passing phase? Do Britain's arrangements reflect a distinctive historical experience, or might they be emulated by Continental Europe? This important book by Crafts, Gazeley and Newell provides the perspective needed to contemplate these questions. * Barry Eichengreen, University of California, Berkeley *This is an important and interesting book.

Oxford University Press, USA The Mismanagement of Talent Employability and Jobs in the Knowledge Economy
Book SynopsisThe knowledge economy conjures a world of smart people, in smart jobs, doing smart things, in smart ways, for smart money, a world increasingly open to all rather than a few. Glossy corporate brochures present a future in challenging, exciting and financially rewarding jobs for the winners in the competition for fast track management appointments. They also convey an image of enlightened employers actively seeking to diversify their talent pool, reflected in their approach to identifying, hiring and retaining outstanding talent. We are told that the challenge confronting governments around the world is to enhance the employability of the workforce. Every effort must be made to expand access to higher education, dismantle barriers to talent regardless of social circumstances, gender, or skin colour, and to harness human creativity and enterprise to meet the demands of the new economy.The Mismanagement of Talent comes to a different conclusion. Those leaving the world of mass higher education find themselves in a scramble for jobs with rising stakes for the winners and losers. The Mismanagement of Talent examines what determines the outcome of this race when a degree loses its badge of distinction. It shows how some graduates are playing ''the game'' to win a competitive advantage and what really happens in the selection events of leading-edge employers. It also argues that talent is being mismanaged by employers that have yet to come to terms with the realities and possibilities of mass higher education. The Mismanagement of Talent will be thought-provoking and controversial reading for those involved in the recruitment of graduates, and those concerned with the way knowledge-based firms recruit and the impact of higher education policy: Professionals working in university careers services, HRM, training, or recruitment generally; Researchers, academics, or students of Business and Management, Human Resource Management, Public Policy, Education, or Sociology; and Job candidates themselves - the ''players'' and ''purists'' described in the book.Trade ReviewThe strength of the book is its empirical material in support of insightful critiques of our contemporary economy, job market and recruitment industry.Table of Contents1. The Promise ; 2. The New Competition ; 3. What Knowledge Economy? ; 4. War for Talent ; 5. The Science of Gut Feelings ; 6. Players and Purists ; 7. Picking Winners ; 8. The Mismanagement of Talent ; 9. The Great Training Robbery
