Article Abstract:
UK organisations are beginning to see the benefits of employing disabled people who are rehabilitated back into normal working life. Injury compensation is a financial factor which the government is keen to avoid by helping organisations re-introduce injured workers back into the workplace. Human resource departments need to be aware of vocational rehabilitation, which helps retain disabled workers by improving their confidence, motivation and flexibility.

HRM, rhetoric and the psychological contract: a case of 'easier said than done.'
Article Abstract:
Managers often face significant difficulties when seeking to match the rhetoric of human resource management to reality. This is an indication of a failure to meet employee expectations, which can have negative repercussions for a company's performance. It seems desirable for managers to seek a congruent contract among employees. However, problems can arise when managers use a rhetoric that creates an 'ideal' that cannot subsequently be achieved.
