Recognises that organisations do all they can to increase their chances for survival and growth, especially in changing and often tough economic times, but suggests that human resource development can help by being action-oriented and tailored to the organisation's changing requirements.

In this new volume of the Professional Practice Series--the first to be published by Jossey-Bass--Manuel London brings together a group of leading research and practice experts to address perhaps the most crucial set of issues facing organizations today--what to do about jobs and workers in turbulent times. In thirteen original chapters, the contributors show how human resource development programs contribute to an organization's viability and growth and the role industrial and organizational psychologists, human resource professionals, and consultants play to help solve organizational or societal problems associated with corporate restructuring and redeployment of workers. The programs detailed here illustrate several successful alternatives to employee displacement and organizational downsizing.Through empirical studies and rich case examples of innovative career development programs in firms as renowned as AT&T, General Electric, and Ford, this book explains the processes for designing and implementing employee development programs that enhance organizational growth and career opportunities.

This book provides guidance for first time leaders of small groups. It offers suggestions and tips for selecting members, knowing what to expect, clarifying goals, determining work processes, motivating members, resolving conflicts, reaching consensus, tracking progress, and rewarding success.
