"I quit!": dealing with the angry resignation
Article Abstract:
There are two kinds of resignation that an employer encounters: verbal and written. If the resignation is verbal and in the form of an angry response to a negative incident, a manager should respond with a "feeling" reply that allows the employee to reconsider (without saying as much). If the resignation is written, the manager's best action for the moment is to accept it. Later, a decision can be made whether or not to ask the employee to reconsider, based on the employee's value to the company. In either case, it is wise to consider possible legal actions on the employee's part. For example, an employee resigning in anger may be asked to stay, only to be fired 3 months later for cause; the employee may sue on the basis of not having been advised as to the improper conduct.

Best videos of 1995
Article Abstract:
Videos on health and safety issues launched in 1995 covered a wide range of topics. These include stress, which is now the subject of extensive research. Videos which contain factual information play a very important role, emphasising the need to keep the workplace tidy, to keep exits clear and to handle loads in the most appropriate way. However, videos which deal with fictional incidents can also put across an important message.
