Managing Cultural Differences
!

This new edition of a business textbook bestseller has been completely updated. In particular, the book presents a fuller discussion of global business today. Also, issues of terrorism and state security as they affect culture and business are discussed substantially. The structure and content of the book remain the same, with thorough updating of the plentiful region and country descriptions, demographic data, graphs and maps. This book differs from textbooks on International Management because it zeroes in on culture as the crucial dimension and educates students about the cultures around the world so they will be better prepared to work successfully for a multinational corporation or in a global context.

Managing a Diverse Workforce
!
Legislation governing employee welfare is becoming increasingly strict, and nowhere is this more prevalent than in dealing with a diverse workplace. Every organisation contains employees who can be considered diverse. Diverse employee can include pregnant women, people with illnesses, young and old workers and those with disabilities. In today's society, where more people with disability and illness are entering the workplace, it is essential for both the organisation and the employee that managers are able to deal effectively with a diverse workplace. Tolley's Managing a Diverse Workplace provides unrivalled guidance on complying with the legislation and regulations specific to the management of diverse employees. Aimed at both HR and health and safety managers, this unique handbook comprehensively covers the key legislation that affects this important area. Other important features include: – Legislation, regulation and the employer – Legislation, regulation and health & safety – Managing the employment aspects of diverse employees – Managing the health & safety of diverse employees – Management systems / tools – Managing changing relationships – The future of diverse employees With corporate social responsibility being such a hot topic, the effective management of diverse employees is high on most companies' agendas. This one-stop reference guide will ensure that organisations are sufficiently equipped to identify those workers considered to be at risk, and manage these risks to their mutual benefit.

Dimensions of Dignity at Work

!
What is dignity in and at work?
How is it experienced differently by different groups of working people?
Are there enduring divisions of dignity: unequal access to what is accepted to be a fundamental human right?
How can we ensure that continued opportunities are available for the creation, maintenance and restoration of dignity at work?

This edited collection of papers investigates the concept of dignity and what it means to people in their working lives: how we are perceived and valued as people in the workplace.
It is not enough to suggest that equal opportunity, work life balance and anti-bullying policies restore dignity to work, valuable interventions though they are in themselves. The papers featured in this edited collection suggest that we see dignity reordered and experienced in different ways depending on our own circumstances and viewpoints.
