Description and Table of Contents
Description
The book identifies occupational welfare as a major component of personnel management. It identifies the long, still proceeding, evolutionary process of change which is leading to the harmonization of terms, benefits and employment conditions in British industry. It considers the traditional manual/non-manual workplace divide and the gradual change to a new core/peripheral workplace division in the modern industrial world. It is within core employment that harmonized conditions are becoming prevalent. British practice has evolved in response to prevailing economic, technological and labour market pressures rather than in emulation of American and Japanese companies in Britain.
