Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Burnout Survival Kit: Instant relief from modern
Book SynopsisWork can leave you frazzled – but it shouldn’t. What you need is some sane advice to get you through. Your body aches. Your brain feels like a mouldy wrung-out dishcloth. You can barely get anything done and, hang on, why are you even doing this anyway? Is there something wrong with you? Nope. You’re just burnt out. Burnout Survival Kit offers practical advice for when things are already bad. There’s no mystical magic about unleashing your inner corporate superhero, no weird productivity diagrams, and certainly no crap about working ‘smarter’. Instead, this is the calm inner voice that you need, served with good sense and creativity. As well as helping you to take time to ground yourself, there are brilliant hacks for all the causes of stress and anxiety, from how to approach networking (no one likes it) to practical advice on sleeping better. And the humour helps too. This may not be a cure, but it really does offer instant relief and give you the chance to take a breath. So whether you’re just starting to burn or fully scorched to a crisp, rest easy. You’ve got a Burnout Survival Kit.

Jessica Kingsley Publishers Manual Handling in Health and Social Care, Second
Book SynopsisManual Handling in Health and Social Care is written for all those involved in the manual handling of adults or children - including those carrying it out, assessors, managers and commissioners. It lays out the current legal requirements in a non-technical way and includes case studies illustrating the law applied in practice, across health, social care and sometimes educational settings. The book applies to England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. An extended introduction sets out challenges, past, present and future, including safety, balancing risk with duties to meet people's needs, human rights, avoidance of blanket policies, mental capacity, safeguarding, the limited resources of statutory services and single-handed care. It also considers some of the legal implications of increased use of technology (including remote assessment), as well as the "mechanisation" of care and its application to manual handling. The main part of the book is in the form of an A-Z guide, providing quick access to relevant legislation and common law (negligence) rules applying to personal injury cases. It covers also, extensively, judicial review legal challenges to decisions, when people and their families disagree with manual handing decisions that have been made. In addition, relevant ombudsman cases are included. The book will be essential reference for staff and managers in health and social care settings, students, legal professionals and all those working to ensure good practice and compliance with the law.

Peter Lang AG Die Beschaeftigungsverantwortung des Arbeitgebers
Book SynopsisDie Autorin untersucht, ob und unter welchen Voraussetzungen der Arbeitgeber bei Minderleistungen zu Anpassungsmaßnahmen verpflichtet ist, damit der Arbeitsvertrag wieder störungsfrei durchgeführt werden kann. Dabei geht es um die leidens- bzw. fähigkeitsgerechte Beschäftigung des Arbeitnehmers sowie um Qualifizierungsmaßnahmen. Wertungsmäßiger Ausgangspunkt sind der allgemeine arbeitsrechtliche Beschäftigungsanspruch und spezialgesetzliche Wertungen aus dem Schwerbehindertenrecht zur Gesundheitsprävention. Formal knüpft der Band an die allgemeinen schuldrechtlichen Rücksichtnahmepflichten an. Außerdem werden die Anpassungsobliegenheiten untersucht, die sich aus dem Kündigungsrecht ergeben. Bei alldem behält die Autorin stets die verfahrensrechtliche Flankierung im Blick.
