How Much is Human Resource Management Really Changing? :
A 5 page paper discussing whether HR is really changing or only appears to be. Not too
many years ago, Human Resources (HR) was the poor relation of the corporate worldit
was believed that the existence of individual HR departments was necessary, if only for

planning, often while outsourcing much of the administrative work for which they

Management Of The Interview And Hiring Function : A 6
page paper discussing the increasing necessity for absolute honesty in the hiring process
as a safeguard against later truth-in-hiring lawsuits. There are lists of guidelines and
specific questions allowable for interviewers to ask available from several management and
human resources professional organizations, and it is unconscionable in todays
business climate that any organization of size operates outside those guidelines in its
efforts to attract the best people possible. But it is also more common for candidates to
also interview the company in order for them to be assured they are making the best
choices for themselves and for their families, and those interviewers now must take as
much care in their responses as interviewees have had to maintain for generations.

here, there is an upcoming promotion from managerial to executive that is in jeopardy. The
woman stands to lose all that she has worked to attain throughout her working life, and

bibliography is included. Integrity.wps

Employee Effects of Downsizing & Mergers : An 8
page paper. Downsizing as a management tool seems to have waned at last, though there are
routine reports of job cuts by many companies, several of which may only be seeking the
traditional stock price boost that usually follows a downsizing announcement. Thankfully,
that pattern seems to be changing, as evidenced by a drop in Boeing stock with their most
recent announcement of job cuts. Mergers still continue, but at a reduced rate than in
most years of the 1990s. Bibliography lists 16 sources. Downmerg.wps

Downsizings Effects on the Real Estate Market :
9 pages in length. Certainly the real estate industry, both residential and commercial
segments, were greatly affected by the downsizing waves on either side of the year of
1990, as were many others. With the sustained growth of the national economy, however,
many of those depreciated properties have now regained and even surpassed their former
values. The private owners and real estate developers suffered, but we all really did,
too. Were growing now, and we even have the added benefit of lessons learned from
the effects of downsizing. Bibliography lists 7 sources. Downsize.doc
Downsizings Effects on its Affected Households :
An 8 page paper. Even though two-income families can make the downsizing transition much
easier than those without a significant second income, there are still substantial issues
they will have to overcome. Some end up working in distant cities and conducting
long-distance marriages; many more finally take jobs at an income far below their former
one. Homes have been lost, retirement funds have been decimated to meet living expenses,
and some have even taken to living on credit card cash advances for their immediate needs
when they saw no alternative. Downsizing and layoffs all affect specific households, but
not all those effects are "bad" ones. Bibliography lists 7 sources. Tight.wps
Effects of Downsizing in the Private Sector : A 29
page research paper on downsizing in American corporations and the problems associated

employees which have been experienced by different companies. Without an appropriate plan,
many organizations feel only the downside of downsizing. Two sets of guidelines for
successful downsizing are included. One table and one illustration are presented.
Bibliography lists 19 sources. Downsizc.wps
Downsizing & The Business Environment : A 15 page
paper discussing the way downsizing was. Much has come of the corporate downsizing
experience, on both sides. Business is increasingly competitive, and most businesses have
exhausted every avenue of "quick fix" for reducing costs and preserving profits.
One "new" approach is that businesses have realized that it costs far more to
replace employees than to keep them, and the most forward-looking are those taking very
good care of their employees, and building and preserving morale. Such was not the case at
the height of downsizing, however. This paper presents two examples each of companies that
handled their downsizing well and those that did not. Bibliography lists 30 sources. Dwnsize.wps
Article Review / "Damaged, Downsized Souls -- How to
Revitalize the Workplace" : A 6 page review of an article published in the

listing of possible approaches to downsizing. No additional sources cited Abstract.wps
Finding The Right People For The Job : A 7 page
paper addressing the increasing problem for employers of finding experienced, qualified
people to fill both new and existing ositions. As the US economy continues its long
prosperous upswing, it is increasingly difficult for employers to remain fully staffed,
particularly at the blue collar and retail level. The paper gives the example of how the
Chubb Group instituted policy changes to encourage employees to remain with the company.
Competitive pressures are only building and businesses have to do all they can to contain
costs and increase productivity in order to remain competitive. Constantly replacing or
searching for qualified employees is a costly proposition. Bibliography lists 7 sources. RightOne.wps

traditionale ones. Examples are given. Bibliography lists 7 sources. Reinforc.wps

Considerations for Healthcare Professionals
Continuing Education :
A 5 page paper discussing lesson plan development for a continuing education class
for healthcare professionals. The course will be led by physicians and most participants
will be nurses and physician assistants, though some MDs also may participate. This
section of the ongoing plan development assesses possible methods to use in presenting
educational material to active professionals in the healthcare field. The topic is caring
for the menopausal patient, particularly in patient education. The paper discusses several
possible formats for the session and concludes that a telecast lecture/question format
likely would be the most convenient for the participants while also be most cost efficient
for the seminar providers. The standard group setting also will be used in order to gain
the most benefit of group dynamics. Bibliography lists 2 sources. Consplan.wps
Continuing Educational Program : A 5 page paper
discussing the objectives of a seminar for practicing healthcare professionals regarding
patient education in the area of menopause. The aging population is the fastest-growing
segment of the general population; demographic studies indicate that the over-65 segment
of the population will be the largest by the turn of the century and for several years
beyond. This stage of the female patients life commonly has been one in which
patients seek increased levels of information, and this seminar is designed to enable the
healthcare provider to more fully answer those questions with information based on current
research and practice. Bibliography lists 2 sources. Conedpr.wps
Encouraging Internal Employee Motivation : A 5
page paper discussing ways in which managers and businesses can provide the climate and
circumstances through which employees can motivate themselves to do the best job they can
for their company. Money certainly is an issue, but when pay meets minimum acceptable
levels motivation depends on the employees conviction that his company views him as
a valuable contributor to the overall health of the business. Federal Express is a master
of such motivation and is used as an example throughout the paper. Bibliography lists 5
sources. Empmotiv.wps
Motivation In The Workplace : A 5 page
essay discussing different theories of motivation including: Needs Satisfaction Hierarchy,
Theory X and Y, and Expectancy Theory. The theories are applied to the workplace, in
general, and a hypothetical beauty supply company, in particular. Bibliography lists 4
sources. Motivwk.wps
Motivation vs. Control In The Business World : 5
pages in length. The business world requires a considerable amount of direction within the
supervisor/subordinate situation, however, it is clear that motivational techniques bring
about significantly better productivity than does controlling behavior. Consistent with
tutelage of any kind, encouragement has proven the most effective method of evoking
positive results over the inherently negative influence of coercion. The writer discusses
why motivation is far superior over control in the business world. Bibliography lists 4
sources. MotVsCon.wps
Human Resources at Federal Express: This
4 page paper with annotated bibliography examines the role of human resource management at
Federal Express in terms of the three strategies for the strategic business partner

requirements, employment outlook for the future, and opportunity for advancement are also
briefly reviewed. Bibliography lists five sources. HR.rtf
Issues Concerning The Hiring Of Temporary Workers
("Temps") : A 6 page paper describing issues concerning temporary
workers in today's business world. A double-edge sword is presented by the fact that
companies emphasize quality and yet they hire temps to save costs-- temps that are
not as likely to work to their fullest potential or with the company's own interests in
mind. Some of the pros and cons of temp work are cited : the writer feels that they are
cost-effective, highly-available, and little or training is required by the company
itself. But on the other hand, temps are very often exploited, underpaid, overworked, and
generally treated quite poorly. Bibliography lists 9 sources. Temps.wps

workers is mid-sized corporations, and supports the thesis that temporary worker
exploitation is not cost effective. Bibliography lists 23 sources. Temporary.wps
Defining the Reasons Behind Organizational Turnover :
A 25 page research paper seeking the reasons for and causes of organizational turnover.
The problem of organizational turnover, or employee retention, is an expensive one for
American businesses. Though there has been much discussion over the years as to just what
the real problem is, what it might be, and what business practitioners and observers think
it is, there has been little empirical research into its origins. Of the research that has
been performed, too much of it concludes with ideas along the lines of "employees
least satisfied with their jobs are the ones who are most likely to leave them." The
best information we have at the current time is a combination of reliable empirical
research, insightful observation and common sense. Bibliography lists 20+ sources. Turnover.wps
Employee Turnover / Voluntary vs Involuntary : A
12 page research paper that looks at different aspects of employee turnover. The focus is
the costs associated with each voluntary and involuntary turnover, i.e., whether an
employee quits or is fired. Both tangible and intangible costs are associated with each
event, however, summarily firing an employee can result in extensive monetary costs, some
of which are not readily apparent. The different costs are discussed as well as steps an
employer should take if they decide to terminate someone's' employment. Bibliography
included. Turnover.wps
Organizational Turnover and Employee Retention : A 13
page paper discussing turnover in terms of causes and costs. Costs of retention may appear
to be high, but the costs of turnover are greaterthe primary difference is that the
costs of retention are so much more easily quantifiable. High turnover rates carry other
effects other than just costs of replacement, and it is those costs that are so difficult
to define. Senior management may never make a connection between falling sales and
increasing turnover as customers feel they are left to fend for themselves when confronted
with new people who may well have not been sufficiently trained to do their new jobs; and
it may not be possible to reliably judge how excessive turnover affects those employees
remaining. Indeed, the costs of retention are lower. Bibliography lists 16 sources. Emretain.wps
Human Resources Management in the Flexible Firm :
A 9 page research paper defining and exploring the "flexible firm," as well as
the challenges for HR management within that firm. The paper focuses on the elements of
total quality management (TQM). Bibliography lists 16 sources. Cntqmanl.wps
U.S. Training Practices : A 5-page discussion
of U.S. training practices in business, education and sports, specifically in relationship
to the concepts of creating a "team" through the ideal of "personal
accountability." The author provides support for the idea that individual training
programs, such as those practiced by Universities and the SF 49ers, lead to Total Quality
Management for the company, creativity, and a positive work environment. Bibliography
lists 6 references. Cntrain.wps
Employee Assistance Programs : An 8 page research
paper giving an overview of this type of employee benefit programwhat they cover,
who they affect, how they are used and how HR professionals are attempting to increase
employee awareness of the programs full benefits. EAPs serve to assist the employee
in their quest to either solve current personal problems or simply get over temporary
"humps" in their lives. Employers recognize that it is to their advantage to
have their employees the most productive they can be, even if achieving the highest level
of productivity involves contributing cash and encouraging the seeking of outside help.
EAPs address the needs requiring the assistance of mental health professionals.
Bibliography lists 12 sources. EAP.wps
Employee Assistance Programs / Overview Of Study : 5
pages in length. Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) are used to confront substance abuse
and other employee problems in the workplace. It has not been established until now,
however, which system works more efficiently: external or internal. The writer critically
summarizes a study that attempts to determine the benefits and drawbacks of both systems.

Employee Evaluations / Negative Elements In Effective Human
Resource Management : A 37 page paper that provides an overview of the literature
relating to the use of employee evaluations, and supports the theory that they are a weak
link in effective human resource management. Bibliography lists 30 sources. Empleval.wps
Performance Review Controversies : A 10 page paper
discussing some of the ways in which performance evaluations are changing. Most businesses
report using the old standard methods of performance review, but the numbers of those
taking different approaches are growing, as organizations come to understand that many of
their standard performance appraisal practices are of no use either for the employee or
for the company barring any kind of employment lawsuit. Those businesses that are required
for legal protection reasons to go through the "pain" of the review may as well
gain some value from the process and the time required to produce the evaluation. As
businesses adapt to the changing competitive climate in which they operate, we are likely
to see many more innovations and a gradual reduction in the number of companies reporting
standard practice. Bibliography lists 10 sources. Perform.doc
Human Resource Management / Performance Appraisals : This
8 page paper discusses trends in performance appraisal. Particular attention is given to
performance appraisals when teams are used in the workplace. This opperational mode
requires a different approach than the more traditional ones that are in use. A case study
is offered to illustrate how one copany incorporates appraisal methods for both teams and
individuals. Bibliograpy lists 5 sources. Hrm.wps
Appraising The Performance Appraisal : A 5 page paper
discussing the existence of appraisals in the workplace. The reasons for administering the
appraisal are described briefly. There is a survey presented as an example of questions
that could be administered to decipher what the employees think about having been given an
appraisal. The survey is discussed and points are made as to what the result of such a
survey would reveal. No additional sources cited. Apprais.wps
Computerized Monitoring of Employees : A 5 page paper discussing the unfairness of computerized monitoring
software by employers who are seeking to monitor Internet usage and emails of employees.
Bibliography lists 4 sources. Compmon.wps
Employee Privacy In The Workplace : A 5 page paper
discussing the issue of employee privacy as it applies to electronic communication.
Employers do have a desire to ensure that the time they are paying for to be spent in
their service is indeed being spent that way. With the pervasiveness of electronic
communication, that monitoring has grown in some areas to the point that it has been
called an invasion of the employees privacy. Those claiming such an invasion of
privacy, however, are forgetting that the employee is to be spending his time in the
employers service. Though some employers may take their monitoring efforts too far,
it must remain their right to be able to manage their businesses efficiently. Bibliography
lists 2 sources. Privatem.doc
E-mail Privacy & Business Ethics / Perceptions of Privacy
and The Development of Privacy Standards In the Workplace : An 8 page paper that

Human Resources / Positive Moves : A 15 page research
paper on how companies are working to build and maintain positive relationships with their
employees and the greater role of Human Resources in maintaining those resources. Some of
the most profitable companies are also known as some of the best places to work (i.e.,
Hewlett-Packard), while other very profitable companies are only endured by their
employees in a downsizing, competitive business climate. Much of the difference can be
traced to the overall climate and culture of the organization. Bibliography lists 7
sources. HumanR.wps

for a successful, empowering technology and demonstrates how the use of Internet
technologies in the human resource field fulfills all criteria. Bibliography lists seven
sources. Human.wps
Studies & Perceptions of Recruiting and Job Placement
: A 9 page paper discussing new approaches of businesses for identifying current and
future needs, and then filling current positions with those future needs in mind. We have
already been through downsizing and reengineering and for many businesses, fine-tuning
their Human Resource function appears to be the last frontier of paring down waste and
operating the company at its peak efficiency. Many of todays most successful
businesses are those that view their people as their greatest collective asset, rather
than a necessary cost center and drain on their bottom line. Bibliography lists 9 sources.
Jobrec.wps
Managements Influence On Human Resources /
Entrepreneurship and Creativity : A 7 page research paper on the effects that a
business Human Resource policies can have on the spirit of creativity and
entrepreneurship within the company. Two examples given are Southwest Airlines and Lotus
Development Corporation. While both officially and practically put their employees first,
Southwest also includes the concept of providing enhanced customer service by ensuring
they have happy employees. Lotus, at least in times past, just wanted happy employees. The
fortunes of the two companies reflect what superficially seems to be a minor divergence of
attitude. That single point, though, has made a world of difference. Bibliography lists 5
sources. HR-Role.wps
Southwest Airlines : An 11 page research
paper investigating Southwest Airlines Company, including a history of the company,
philosophy of management, financial reports, employee-management relations, and
forecasting the company's future. Particular attention is paid to the factors that make
Southwest so successful. One table is presented. Bibliography lists 11 sources. Soutair.wps
Democracy in the Workplace / Examples Of Success :
A 16 page research paper examining the qualities of three of the "best" places
to work: Measurement, Inc., Federal Express and GMs Saturn division. Each of the
three demands the best of their employees; each has some of the most loyal employees in
their respective industries. The common bottom line among the three is that they view
their employees as thinking, feeling individuals with needs and aspirations of their own,
and each recognizes that happy, fulfilled employees equals happy, satisfied customers. In
keeping with Theodore Levitts admonition that the sole purpose of any business is to

Preventing Drug-Related Workplace Injuries :
A 10 page paper discussing the influence of drugs on the incidence of workplace accidents.
Most reports in the popular press indicate that both drug and alcohol use are declining,
yet conflicting reports exist. Some surveys conclude that substance abuse has declined in
some age groups while increasing in others; the most disturbing finding of all as it
applies to corporate America is that both drug and alcohol use are increasing in the
workplace. Some employers are beginning to test employees for drugs immediately following
workplace accidents, however, and are having good results in identifying and removing
problem employees until they are either drug free or terminated, and finding an added
benefit of reductions in workers compensation insurance premiums. Bibliography lists

Drug Use / Abuse In The Workplace : 12 pages in
length. There exists little tolerance for drug use and abuse in the contemporary
workplace. Not only does substance abuse disrupt the flow of day-to-day production because
of excessive absenteeism, incessant tardiness and poor job performance, but it also costs
businesses billions of dollars each year in lost revenue. Drugs have no place in the work
environment, yet there is a significant percentage of workers who cannot separate their
personal lives from their professional lives, creating a potentially volatile situation by
mixing the two together. The writer discusses drug use as it relates to the workplace.

Corporate Management of Drug and Alcohol Abuse :
An 8 page paper evaluating various approaches to detecting and eradicating substance abuse
in the workplace. Workplace testing has increased dramatically in the past decade, and

some researchers that the observed declines more represent increased sophistication in
escaping detection than reflecting a true decrease in prevalence of drug use. Bibliography

Just-in-Time Inventory as a Burden to Human Resources : 15
pages worth of research on how the Just-in-Time (J.I.T.) inventory system has become a
burden to human resources -- and even a threat to workers ! A method borrowed from the
Japanese, J.I.T. dictates that materials & merchandise are ordered only as needed
and not kept in surplus or stock. J.I.T. is mostly an automated process and it has
therefore been known to lessen the need for workers. The writer of this paper feels that
J.I.T. damages employee morale and therefore, ultimately hurts productivity. FREE outline,
charts, and handouts included. No Bibliography. Justinti.wps
Todays Hourly Employees : A 20 page
research paper attempting to discover a relationship between numbers of supervisors and
hourly employees. The paper discovers that more important than number ratios is the
overall culture of specific companies. Workers complained for years of the layer upon
layer of supervisors who seemed to have no function outside of chart production, but the
downsizing of the late 80s and early 90s eliminated most of them. In the wake of
downsizing waves, direct supervisors were responsible for so many hourly employees that
they had no hope of real personal contact. Now, however, most businesses have discovered
the middle, and optimal, range of number ratios, but overall corporate culture still plays
a bigger role in productivity. Bibliography lists nearly two dozen sources. Hourly.wps
Worker-Caused Workplace Injuries : A 9 page paper
discussing the effects of drugs, alcohol, and to a lesser degree, violence in the
workplace as they relate to the incidence of workplace injuries and even death. Employers
first began pre-employment drug screening tests because of the lost productivity
attributable to the effects of drugs and alcohol on the abilities of those employees using
them, but today, it has become more of a quest for safety than for productivity. Violence
in the workplace is always a high-profile occurrence, but is less responsible for
workplace injuries and fatalities than are the effects of drug- and alcohol-abuse. Simple
irresponsibility can be deadly; the effects of drug and alcohol use can be doubly so.

Is Telecommuting Unfair To Women # 2 ? : In this
well-argued 6 page paper, the point is made that tele-commuting does little more for women
than keep them at home-- where they were a century ago. Women who work from their home
office/computer are expected not only to handle corporate business from 9 - 5, they are
also usually expected to take care of household affairs and even to raise children during
the same time. This stands in contrast with men who cyber-commute but who are
not expected to do anything other than work during the course of the business day. Various
other relevant ethical issues are discussed and it is ultimately concluded that women have
very little to gain in today's workplace. Bibliography lists 2 sources. Womnwkpl.wps

research paper that looks specifically at Rodriguez's autobiography, Hunger of Memory,

opposed to affirmative action even though he admits that such social action programs
benefited him throughout his academic career. The writer demonstrates that it is
Rodriguez's views on class inequality rather then racial inequality that is at the basis
of his philosophy. Quotations from the source. Bibiliography lists book itself as only

Caucasian preferential treatment. No additional sources cited. Eliscose.wps

Noise-Related Hearing Loss & The Effects Of OSHA
Regulation : 9 pages in length. Pain or bleeding attract an
individuals attention right away to let him know there is something going wrong with
some part of his body. In the case of hearing loss though, the first indication the
individual may have is that his family is increasingly complaining about the volume of the
television and impatient with his requests for repeats of statements. There are 33 million
people with hearing loss severe enough to affect their daily activities, including their
jobs. Work-related noise exposure is responsible for fully one-third of the population of
the hearing impaired in the country, and OSHA intends that work-related hearing loss will
be reduced or eliminated. Bibliography lists 10 sources. Losehear.wps

When Your Employees Are in the National Guard Reserves...
: A 13 page research paper on how the unique position held by National Guardsmen in
the Federal personnel system,-- maintaining a dual status as civilians and soldiers while

the world-wide corporate-industrial culture. In this very detailed 16 page research paper,

The Parcel Industry : A 6 page overview of the parcel
delivery industry. Much of the countrys economy depends on the parcel industry, and
more now than ever before. Sound management and competition have worked to bring overall
rates down in the past few years, particularly for overnight services. Where overnight

are used for the most routine of transactions and exchanges. The UPS strike has served to
change the industry in that few business customers rely only on a sole shipper.

Management, Labor, Unions, & The 1997 UPS Strike :
A 10 page paper examining the relationship between unions and management, using the
now-current UPS (United Parcel Service) strike as a paper-long
example. The UAW and GMs Saturn Division had enjoyed a symbiotic relationship for
years, with each side working for the long-term benefit of the company while protecting
workers rights, as well as their responsibilities. UAW members realize that there
are thousands of workers overseas more than willing to eliminate auto maker positions
here, and that it is in their best interest to work for increased productivity and
efficiency. The Teamsters retain the old-school attitudes of the "evil
corporation," glossing over all the benefits that UPS provides its employees.

Managements View of the UPS Pilots Contract
Demands : A 6 page paper. The Independent Pilots Association (IPA) representing
UPS 2039 pilots allowed a by-mail survey of their members last August (1997)

renegotiation) stands at more than $200. Bibliography lists 6 sources. UPSPilot.wps
Effects Of The UPS-Teamsters Strike : A 25 page paper
discussing the 1997 strike against UPS, the first walkout in the companys history.
While large companies, especially those dealing business-to-business, rarely use delivery
services for order shipment, UPS had been the delivery service of choice for many of the
small businesses in the country. The US Postal Service and other delivery and courier
services did what they could to make up for the more than 12 million pieces normally
handled by UPS daily, but most were forced to place restrictions on accepting new
customers long before the strike ended. While they prospered, many of Americas small
businesses were damaged right along with UPS. Bibliography lists 17 sources. Ups-25.wps

Are They Still Necessary? Labor Unions in the 90s
: A 20 page paper which weighs the relevance of labor unions today. There is growing
sentiment that while unions performed a very real service for the workers of America at
the time of their creation and greatest activity, that they perhaps have outlived their
usefulness, that they are unnecessary for today's labor force. The relationship between
the union representative and management team at any given work site has traditionally been
adversarial, but some companies have been able to evolve past traditional relationships.

Advantages of Unions : A 7 page paper that explores
the increase in union membership in 1997 because of advantages (general and specific)
provided by unions to its members. The needs of today's employees in a reorganizing and
downsizing corporate environment are attributed to a new growth in union membership. For
this reason, unions have realized a reverse of the decline in union membership experienced
over the past 15 years. Today, unions are helping workers in industries as varied as
aircraft workers to physicians. Bibliography lists 7 sources. Unionad.wps
Trends & Principles In Labor Relations : 25 pages
in length. Increasing numbers of companies today are working to create and maintain
positive relationships with their employees. Many do have altruistic motives at least to
some degree, but the returns of productivity are of greatest importance. Competitive
pressures are greater today than at any other time, and businesses leading their
industries in productivity and profitability increasingly are those with the most
"human" forms of management and labor relations. Those most successful will be
the ones that can recognize that nearly every employee is indeed a valuable part of the
organization and wants to be valued as such. Bibliography lists 19 sources. Labornew.wps
Labor-Management Relations / Collective Bargaining : This
12 page research paper might be subtitled: has collective bargaining outlived its
usefulness? The paper investigates the history of labor law limited to the NLRA and the
Taft-Hartley Act and their impact on labor-management relations. The rapidly declining
membership in unions and the changes in society have led also to a change in
employee-employer relations. Workers are not longer willing to simply take direct orders
from employers or from union officials and they clearly want more involvement in the
decisions affecting their jobs. A new type of social contract is offered. Bibliography

Expatriate Employees / Training for Longevity : A 10
page paper discussing the role of the expatriate in the multinational business setting.
Expatriate training not only includes job duties, but the most effective expatriate
training entails far more than the details of the job at hand. There are also far greater
issues that need to be addressed in the training of the expatriate for service in a
foreign country. Employers understand that the most productive and the most well-adjusted
employees are those who also have a meaningful home life and do not pour all their
energies into the needs of the company. In return, the company also does not need to pour
all of its resources into a poorly-trained and uninformed individual whose family
literally can cost the organization millions of dollars in a failed mission because they
were unprepared to assimilate into the local society. Bibliography lists 8 sources. IntlBize.wps
Expatriate Staffing & Dual Careers : 6
pages in length. Employers of both small and large corporations looking to expand their
companies overseas are often caught in a staffing trap that keeps them from realizing
their goals. In order to secure effective global talent sourcing, their best option is to
promote and transfer qualified employees who have already worked their way up the ranks.
However, in today's economy, many workers have spouses who also work and cannot simply up
and leave their hard earned positions. As a result, the one most qualified to open and
effectively run the overseas operation is usually the last person available for the job,
leaving the task to one less capable yet free to relocate. The writer addresses the
downfalls of expatriate staffing and how dual career families represent one of the main
points of contention. Bibliography lists 8 sources. Expstaff.wps

Non-English Speaking Background
(NESB) Immigrant Women in the Australian Workforce : A 10 page paper in which the
writer provides an overview of the problem and research surrounding the issue of NESB.
Critics have suggested that large populations of non-English speaking background (NESB)
unemployed overburden the welfare and social security systems, and in their attempts to
enter the workforce, also strain the country's remedial adult education programs. But in
light of maintained immigration levels over the past decade, the path towards changing the
negative perceptions of NESB immigrants within the workforce is imbedded not only in a
system designed to enhance language skill development, but also to dispel the myths
related to their lack of skills and their long-term impacts on the job market.
