Caution is key when injured workers return
Article Abstract:
Employers have several options when faced with a disabled or injured employee returning to work, all of which can be enacted after settling or litigating disposition of compensation or job assignment: voluntary or involuntary termination; returning the employee to the pre-injury job; assigning the employee to a new position; or providing the employee with rehabilitation and then providing an appropriate job. Employers must also consider the effect of several legal requirements, such as: the applicability of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973; provisions under union contracts; and safety concerns.

Matching manager wants with company needs
Article Abstract:
Increased competition has caused businesses to emphasize general, well-rounded management, with fewer opportunities for specialization and promotions. Managers no longer have as much job security and must depend on their abilities to keep their jobs. Research in the managerial field reveals that managers believe being challenged on the job is more important than compensation. Job rotation is one way to combine the needs of the company and its management employees.
