Understanding and Preventing Workplace Retaliation
Patricia A. Wise Manufacturer: Thompson Pub Group ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 1930872003 |
Book Description
Understanding and Preventing Workplace Retaliation helps employers understand, recognize and effectively deal with incidents of retaliation -- or potential retaliation -- in the workplace.Workplace retaliation has become one of the most troublesome legal issues for employers. The number of workplace retaliation claims filed with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has skyrocketed -- 20,000 retaliation charges were lodged in 1999 -- and the risks to employers for retaliation claims include EEOC investigations and lawsuits. One employee, for example, was awarded $81 million by a jury after she was shuffled from job to job after complaining about sexual discrimination.
Written by Patricia A. Wise, a veteran employment attorney and frequent lecturer and trainer to employer groups, Understanding and Preventing Workplace Retaliation describes the many forms retaliation can take and provides practical advice for safeguarding against incidents.
This 120-page softbound book addresses such issues as:
* what is retaliation -- and what are the required elements of a retaliation claim;
* how routine personnel practices, such as giving references, conducting job interviews and maintaining personnel files, can lead to employer liability for retaliation;
* how to fairly discipline employees without risking charges of retaliation; and
* what precautions employers should take to avoid the risk of retaliation when an employee complains about race, sex, disability or other prohibited discrimination.
The resource also highlights significant court decisions, providing real-life examples of where employers acted prudently and where they failed to, and offers sample anti-retaliation policy language.

A comment for this book.......2003-11-09
This book is mainly about how to switch on the employees and customers become inspired, passionate and alive, so that the organization could earn profits. Thus a question would be raised, how to create such a passion in an organization?
The answer would be regulating employees and customers by the leader in the organization. There are both the internal side and external side.
Internally, a leader should guide the values system, promote leadership in all levels, renew them regularly and care everyone in the organization. In an organization, a strong foundation should be built and a goal should be set. Also, it should simplify the structure of organization and make use of technology to measure and enhance the efficiency of process, so that the organization could run smoothly. The organization should also need to nurture their employees to build a winning team, the head and heart should be hired by the organization, thus the organization should provide resources for them to learn and compensate their contribution. Moreover, the organization should try to make everyone feel special, so that the workforce would able to work hard and loyal to the organization.
Externally, it¡¦s not easy for the organization to tackle with the customers as each customer has their unique emotion, needs and desired. Thus the organization should employ a new rules, present the choices for customer to choose, provide customerized service and develop personal relationship with them.
Comment:
I think this book is really great as it¡¦s easy to understand and I get many feelings after reading the book.
For the leader part, I agree that it¡¦s really a hard job to be a leader as the leader should be a person who is able to energize the team members, able to be divided the job equally according to their strength and wants. There is no ¡§perfect¡¨ person in the world, so a leader should contain both competent, able to deal with personal relationship that include dealing with the conflicts between the team members.
Also, a leader needs to energize the others. Just as Horst Schulze in Ritz-Carlton said, ¡§he said a leader is hardly to find someone to energize himself.¡¨ Thus a leader should energize by renew themselves.
In real life, I have tutorial with a 7 years-old girl and I¡¦m just like a leader whereas she is just like an employee. It¡¦s not easy to control her as she thinks that learning is a difficult and hard job for her. If she finishes two works today, she needs to work three in the other days. Thus, she would not like to finish the work and shows a very slow speed, lack of passionate attitude to me. It¡¦s really annoying to me as I do not know how to deal with her.
Thus, after watching this book, I learn something. I try to let her know that homework is her responsibility as a student. She plays happily in school with her friends and so she also needs to do her homework, happy and homework is together. No matter how difficult, she needs to finish all for everyday. Of course, it is not an easy to let her understand as she is just 7 years-old girl. So I use many examples to illustrate, e.g. I tell her what¡¦s the responsibility for me, her parents, etc. Also, her friends are able to do her homework without the others¡¦ help, so she is lucky that there is somebody helping or accompanying to do the homework. Moreover, I try to increase her interest to do the homework by giving her stickers. I design a table to make record. I hope that these all tools could help me to solve the problem.
It truely energizes you!.......1999-01-06

Downscoping: How to Tame the Diversified Firm
Robert E. Hoskisson , and Michael A. Hitt Manufacturer: Oxford University Press, USA ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0195078438 |
Book Description
Large, diversified firms face unique challenges as they compete worldwide, and corporate restructuring is one way multinationals strive for competitive advantage. Weighing the pros and cons of a variety of approaches to restructuring, Downscoping offers executives a clear, strategic path through the maze. The authors show that when a multinational conglomerate fails to compete effectively, too much diversification may be the culprit. Whether the result of weak corporate governance or poor corporate strategy, over-diversification can make managers, unfamiliar with some of the markets in which they compete, opt for safety over innovation. This risk-aversion and lack of long-range commitment to innovation lead inevitably to stagnation over the longer term. The answer is not downsizing--closing offices and laying off personnel--but downscoping: a strategic approach to restructuring. The options include incentive and compensation adjustments for executives, leveraged buy-outs and capital structure changes, focusing on core skills, diversifying internationally while focusing on businesses in which a firm has strong competencies, and buying and selling mature businesses where product development is not a great concern. Regardless of the approach, executives must exercise strategic leadership during and after restructuring, including providing strategic direction, exploiting core competencies, developing human capital, and sustaining the corporate culture. Based on systematic research rather than casual observation, Downscoping provides a strong description of restructuring alternatives and their resulting tradeoffs. Its specific guidelines for maintaining competitiveness will be essential reading for managers involved in corporate restructuring.

Ada Blackjack: A True Story of Survival in the Arctic
Jennifer Niven Manufacturer: Hyperion ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items:
ASIN: 0786868635 Release Date: 2003-11-12 |
Book Description
From the author of The Ice Master comes the remarkable true story of a young Inuit woman who survived six months alone on a desolate, uninhabited Arctic island n September 1921, four young men and Ada Blackjack, a diminutive 25-year-old Eskimo woman, ventured deep into the Arctic in a secret attempt to colonize desolate Wrangel Island for Great Britain. Two years later, Ada Blackjack emerged as the sole survivor of this ambitious polar expedition. This young, unskilled woman-who had headed to the Arctic in search of money and a husband-conquered the seemingly unconquerable north and survived all alone after her male companions had perished. Following her triumphant return to civilization, the international press proclaimed her the female Robinson Crusoe. But whatever stories the press turned out came from the imaginations of reporters: Ada Blackjack refused to speak to anyone about her horrific two years in the Arctic. Only on one occasion-after charges were published falsely accusing her of causing the death of one her companions-did she speak up for herself. Jennifer Niven has created an absorbing, compelling history of this remarkable woman, taking full advantage of the wealth of first-hand resources about Ada that exist, including her never-before-seen diaries, the unpublished diaries from other primary characters, and interviews with Ada's surviving son. Ada Blackjack is more than a rugged tale of a woman battling the elements to survive in the frozen north-it is the story of a hero.Customer Reviews:
