Employee participation is a sign of the Times in LA

Article Abstract:

The Los Angeles Times Time Employee Action Means Success (TEAMS) program includes 40 teams and a total of 300 employees. TEAMS is a problem-solving, quality circle approach that also helps improve participant public speaking skills, project planning ability, and group functioning. Projects covered by the eight-to-ten person groups have included a range of issues, including records management and data storage. TEAMS has been successful enough that Times management foresees increased use of the program, and expansion to interdepartmental teams which will work on solving common problems.

Keeping pace with retired athletes

Article Abstract:

Professional Athletes Career Enterprises (PACE) will refer ex-athletes to potential jobs. It will usually take the placement service between two and four months to find the former athlete a job, following an extensive number of interviews and vocational tests. The Center for Career Development has worked in conjunction with the labor leaders of the various professional sports on behalf of former employees, and the organization is supported by private donations.

The advertising campaign prepared by Deutsch, Shea & Evans for IOMEGA will provide some valuable information on the creative process and also the basic elements of why recruitment advertising can work.
