Inhaltsangabe

In this illuminating look at the realities of the American workplace, the contributors explain how the widespread restructuring of American firms--usually resulting in a reduction of the workforce to cut costs--has caused a far-reaching transformation in the relationship between employers and employees. The ensuing new relationships shift many of the risks of business from the firm to the employees and make employees responsible for developing their own skills and careers. In this work, Cappelli and company consider how individuals and employers need to adapt to the new arrangements as well as their implications for important policy issues. A timely look at issues facing all managers and workers, Change at Work is must reading for all interested in corporate organization, employer-employee relations, and the present and future state of the American workplace.

Über diesen Titel

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Change at Work explores the theme that employees have paid the price for the widespread restructuring of American firms as illustrated by reduced security, greater effort and hours, and reduced morale. In this important study - commissioned by the National Planning Association's Committee on New American Realities - the authors consider how individuals and employers need to adapt to the new arrangements as well as the implications for important policy issues such as how skills will be developed where the attachment to firms is sharply reduced. The future is uncertain, but the authors argue that the traditional relationship between employer and employee will continue to erode, making this work essential reading for managers concerned with the profound impact corporate restructuring has had on the lives of workers.
