From here to security?

Article Abstract:

An analysis of 18 UK employers' employment security policies indicated most employers used such policies to manage workplace changes and transition. These policies have been used to reassure remaining employees prior to voluntary layoffs and to win employee support for changes. Typically, the policies have described the type of staff reductions or transition time-frame anticipated. Policies have often focused on improving staff employability and flexibility, often essentially trading pay concessions in exchange for job security. Employers have used temporary employees to ease transition.

These collaborative efforts in jointism, exemplified by Ford mutual growth forums, have led to increased productivity as well as reasserted management control.
