Employment Relations is widely taught in business schools around
the world. However, an increasing emphasis is being placed on the
comparative and international dimensions of the relationships
between employers and workers. It is becoming crucial to consider
today's work and employment issues alongside the dynamics between
global financial and product markets, global production chains,
national and international employment actors and institutions, and
the ways in which these relationships play out in different
national contexts. Comparative Employment Relations in the Global
Economy addresses this need by presenting a cross-section of
country studies - including the UK, Germany, USA, Brazil, India,
Russia, China and South Africa - alongside integrative thematic
chapters covering essential topics such as theoretical approaches,
collective representation and employment regulation. This second
edition benefits from: Careful updates to theory and real-life
developments Fuller treatment of topics such as labour migration,
gender and discrimination, global value chains and corporate
governance A more logical ordering of chapters, with globalization
issues appearing earlier This textbook is the perfect resource for
students on advanced undergraduate and postgraduate comparative and
international programmes across areas such as employment relations,
industrial relations, human resource management, political economy,
labour politics, industrial and economic sociology, regulation and
social policy.
A Meaningful Life at Work addresses a range of contemporary issues
that impact on an individual's experiences in the workplace,
including those that may restrict opportunities for personal growth
in a professional setting. Understanding an employee's values,
their choices and the problems they face in the workplace may help
organisations to better structure their human resource policies,
compensation packages and working conditions. The authors explore
employee wellbeing from a Malaysian perspective as a developing
country, but they also reflect on the broader Asian and wider
global context. The key themes analysed in this book include work
addiction, cyber bullying, sexual harassment in the workplace and
the ethics of workplace behaviour. The book contributes to the
theoretical discourse around organisation studies and employee
wellbeing, while also seeking to integrate academic concepts with
practice. In this way, it offers practical steps towards promoting
positivity and happiness in the workplace.
Gaining a thorough understanding of today's complex workplace is of
vital importance to both business professionals and academics-not
only because it leads to a deeper understanding of individual
motivation in the work context, but also because it reveals ways in
which work practices can be improved. This requirement for both
understanding and action has become especially pressing in the area
of "learning in organizations" as businesses have become ever more
"knowledge-based." There is now an urgent need to comprehend how
people and organizations learn, and then to store and transfer the
resulting new knowledge to facilitate the design of work
environments and practices. Learning from Work directly addresses
this growing workplace need by examining how people communicate and
learn in one of the most complex of industry structures: the
automobile industry. It is the very nature of this industry's
complexity that makes this study so valuable. The combination of
global scale, plus the nature of the relationships between the
manufacturers and the dealerships (the dealerships are independent
businesses that are only loosely coupled to the manufacturers) make
the barriers to communication and learning quite high, and make the
solutions to overcoming them applicable in many different work
environments. Anne Beamish suggests that the only way is to
increase learning and improve collaboration and communication in
complex organizations is to apply design thinking. This is the only
comprehensive method, she claims, that can unleash the kind of
innovative and effective solutions required to overcome the
inherent structural, procedural, and political barriers.
"GETTING THE RIGHT PEOPLE, IN THE RIGHT PLACE, AT THE RIGHT TIME,
WITH THE RIGHT MOTIVATION."
Tom Casey and his collaborators want ALL CEOs to appreciate the
imminent "Perfect Storm" of human capital change. As CEOs navigate
the unchartered waters of globalization, declining engagement, and
shifting demographics, they are seeing a dramatic imbalance between
talent needs and talent availability. As well, CEOs are confronted
with the difference in work styles and priorities of four
generations of employees and need to reconcile their distinct
aspirations to ensure maximum productivity. "Talent Readiness"
addresses the top ten human capital challenges of the new decade,
and provides immediate solutions to harness the unique skills and
attitudes of the new labor market.
The workplace has been changed in recent decades by the rise of
digital technologies. Parts of a single labor process can be moved
around the world, with implications not only for individual
workplaces, but for the working class as a whole.
Within advanced capitalist countries, the workplace has been
made more flexible through cell phones, e-mail, freelancing, and
outsourcing. The process often makes the situation of the workers
more precarious, as they are forced to pay for the tools of their
trade, are expected to be constantly accessible to workplace
demands, and are isolated from their fellow workers.
Huws' The Making of a Cybertariat examines this process from a
number of perspectives, including those of women in the workplace
and at home. It explores changing categories of employment and
modes of organization, and how new divisions of race and gender are
created in the process. It questions how the virtual workforce can
identify their common interests and stand together to struggle for
them.
The Making of a Cybertariat is both a testament to the author's
remarkable record in the politics of technology over several
decades and a vital resource for grasping ongoing debates and
controversies in this field.
Estimates suggest that up to 20% of employees, customers and
clients might have a neurodivergent condition - such as dyslexia,
autism, Asperger's, ADHD or dyspraxia - yet these individuals often
struggle to gain and maintain employment, despite being very
capable. This practical, authoritative business guide will help
managers and employers support neurodiverse staff, and gives advice
on how to ensure workplaces are neuro-friendly. The book
demonstrates that neurodiversity is a natural aspect of human
variation to be expected and accepted, rather than a deficit to be
accommodated. Employer responsibilities are highlighted, including
the 2010 Equality Act, and a range of strategies and policies are
provided, including recruitment advice and the benefits of
neurodiverse employees, along with advice on physical environments,
interaction and communication, and working with clients and
customers. This book is an ideal resource for all employers wanting
to support and empower people with specific needs to help create a
more inclusive workplace, benefiting both neurodiverse individuals
and the companies employing them.

Walmart is the largest employer in the world. It encompasses nearly
1 percent of the entire American workforce-young adults, parents,
formerly incarcerated people, retirees. Walmart also presents one
possible future of work-Walmartism-in which the arbitrary authority
of managers mixes with a hyperrationalized, centrally controlled
bureaucracy in ways that curtail workers' ability to control their
working conditions and their lives. In Working for Respect, Adam
Reich and Peter Bearman examine how workers make sense of their
jobs at places like Walmart in order to consider the nature of
contemporary low-wage work, as well as the obstacles and
opportunities such workplaces present as sites of struggle for
social and economic justice. They describe the life experiences
that lead workers to Walmart and analyze the dynamics of the shop
floor. As a part of the project, Reich and Bearman matched student
activists with a nascent association of current and former Walmart
associates: the Organization United for Respect at Walmart (OUR
Walmart). They follow the efforts of this new partnership,
considering the formation of collective identity and the
relationship between social ties and social change. They show why
traditional unions have been unable to organize service-sector
workers in places like Walmart and offer provocative suggestions
for new strategies and directions. Drawing on a wide array of
methods, including participant-observation, oral history, big data,
and the analysis of social networks, Working for Respect is a
sophisticated reconsideration of the modern workplace that makes
important contributions to debates on labor and inequality and the
centrality of the experience of work in a fair economy.
