The role relocation plays in management planning

Article Abstract:

In the 1980's, company personnel management will be increasingly people-oriented. One of the main objectives will be to develop individual skills from within the organization rather than hire outside executives when new expertise is needed. Employee relocation is an effective and feasible method for achieving this. High potential executives are placed in areas where their talents can best be enhanced, thereby increasing employee morale and assuring that long-term corporate goals will be understood and met.

Worksite health promotion can be cost-effective

Article Abstract:

Companies interested in reducing medical expenditures have begun encouraging employee wellbeing through worksite health promotion programs. Between $4 and $5 billion per year is spent on hypertensive employees and a worker who smokes may cost the company up to $625 per year. Companies that provide smoking prevention programs, physical fitness sessions and stress management courses may pay more initially, but in the long-run superior employee health will prove to be a necessary and cost-effective strategy.

Avoid the 'quick fix' approach to productivity problems: personnel executives must pursue the team approach to improving productivity

Article Abstract:

Although it is difficult to measure the exact change in industrial productivity in the U.S., indicators suggest that employee productivity is declining. Instead of instituting untested techniques to motivate employees, personnel managers should use practical, common sense methods. Such programs include providing better leadership and supervision, encouraging teamwork, providing job security and establishing goals and objectives that are clearly understood.
