Download or read book Disability Management and Workplace Integration written by Henry G. Harder and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-23 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Disability Management is perceived and understood to be an important approach to reducing the negative impact, for workers and the company, of absence due to illness and accidents, and to assisting those with disabilities to enter or re-enter the workplace. Disability Management has already become established in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the USA. Recently European countries have begun to promote the approach in order to reduce illness related expenses and avoid unemployment, early retirement and costs to the welfare state. In Disability Management and Workplace Integration leading researchers from around the World consider the development of Disability Management over the last three decades. They examine the on-going debate about methodology and implementation of disability management strategies and programmes, highlighting the critical debate about the implications of a stricter cost-benefit approach to Disability Management theory and practice. Professionals involved in workplace integration, researchers approaching workplace integration from a variety of perspectives such as sociology; rehabilitative medicine; psychology; education; social policy; and economics, and students on a range of courses, will appreciate this valuable book.

Book excerpt: This book aims at exploring the link between corporate and organizational culture, public and private policies, leadership and managerial skills or attitudes, and the successful implementation of work-related healthcare in Europe. Therefore it brings together a wide range of empirical and theoretical contributions from occupational health, management, psychology, medicine, economics, and (organizational) sociology to address the question of how to sustainably promote occupational health. Such important questions are explored as: What aspects of a corporate culture can be associated with health issues? How does leadership style affect the health of employees? How are health-related decisions in the workplace affected by the political environment? To what extent are interventions influenced by corporate culture, leadership and public policy? How can we make such interventions sustainable?

This book was released on 2009 with total page 65 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2009 im Fachbereich Soziologie - Arbeit, Beruf, Ausbildung, Organisation, Note: 1,0, Technische Universität Carolo-Wilhelmina zu Braunschweig (Institut für Sozialwissenschaften), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Im Übergang von der Industrie- zur Wissens- und Dienstleistungsgesellschaft hängt die Wettbewerbsfähigkeit der Unternehmen zunehmend von deren Wertschöpfungspotenzial und Innovativität ab. Die zentrale Ressource um dies zu gewährleisten, ist das betriebliche Humankapital - die Mitarbeiter und Mitarbeiterinnen des Unternehmens. Doch im Zuge des Demografischen Wandels geraten die Unternehmen zunehmend unter Handlungsdruck: Einerseits wird sich das Angebot an Arbeitskräften immer weiter reduzieren. Andererseits werden die Belegschaften durchschnittlich älter und verweilen auch länger im Unternehmen. Um die Produktivität der Arbeitnehmer auch im Alter konstant zu halten, bedarf es eines umfassenden Konzepts zum Erhalt der Arbeitsfähigkeit. Daher soll in der vorliegenden Arbeit zum Thema Arbeitnehmer mit Rückenschmerzen? Die Herausforderung "Demografischer Wandel" im Betrieblichen Gesundheitsmanagement die Frage beantwortet werden: Welche Herausforderungen ergeben sich für Unternehmen durch die Erfordernisse des Demografischen Wandels und wie ist es durch ein ganzheitliches Konzept des betrieblichen Gesundheitsmanagements möglich, die Arbeits- und Leistungsfähigkeit der Beschäftigten zu fördern. Hierzu werde ich die Auswirkungen des demografischen Wandels auf die Unternehmen skizzieren und beschreiben, mit welchen Mitteln die Betriebe auf diese bereits reagieren. Da viele Unternehmen dabei die spezifischen Potenziale älterer Mitarbeiter unterschätzen, soll zunächst auf die Leistungsfähigkeit älterer Arbeitnehmer eingegangen werden. Anschließend wird das Konzept "Haus der Arbeitsfähigkeit" von Ilmarinen vorgestellt um die Faktoren zu skizzieren, die für den Erhalt der Arbeits- und Leistungsfähigkeit der Mitarbeiter eine Rolle spielen.

Book excerpt: Inhaltsangabe:Introduction: In politics as well as in media and in social linguistic usage aging society is a meaningful term. Since many years sociological scientists are warning against the impact of the demographic change. This social problem confronts among others governments, municipalities, welfare services and especially the economy. On current trends in the middle of the century 39.5% of the German population will be older than 60 (UN population division 2008). People live a longer and healthier life and also birthrates significantly declined over the past 20 years. Even migration in developed countries like Germany can only slow down the aging process. Subsequently, there will be a reduction of the supply of labor and a dramatic change in the age- related composition of the workforce. Businesses worldwide in developed countries are facing the challenge to manage the aging skilled workforce. Executives find out that their companies will encounter a wave of retirements in the next decade as the baby boomers of the post World- War II era reach retirement age. Simultaneously, the younger workforce has different expectations and work values than the older generation. Beside these trends businesses face losing significant numbers of experienced employees by retirement and with them lots of skills and qualification potential disappear. Thus, a substantial loss of knowledge will take place, if nothing will be done against it. In order to maintain competitiveness a war of talents will affect businesses worldwide. The battle for so called high potentials shows dramatically the consequence of the fact, that a skilled workforce will be the scantiest resource for a successful business. 1.1, Motivation and objectives: Our aging society takes effect on all areas of life - on political, social and economical areas. Hence, the aging of the population affects the aging of employees in the companies. In spite of this knowledge, published many years ago, the personnel policy of most companies still orientates towards younger people as a potential workforce. Older employees often are discarded when they reach a certain age. A study conducted by Bertelsmann Stiftung found out that in 2002 about 10% employees of an age between 55 and 64 were unemployed. While innovation and competitiveness are related to the younger generation the older ones have to face prejudices against themselves. Decisions of personnel managers affecting older employees come along [...]

Download or read book Sedentary Behaviour Epidemiology written by Michael F. Leitzmann and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-12-21 with total page 650 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses the origins, determinants and magnitude of the global problem of sedentary behaviour, along with concise yet in-depth solutions for tackling it. As a consequence of major technological advances in modern society, many people find themselves in environments characterized by prolonged sedentary behaviour. Although inadequate exercise has long been known to cause adverse health consequences, sedentary behaviour has recently emerged as a risk factor for the development of numerous chronic diseases and health conditions. Building on the contributions of leading experts in the field, this book presents current knowledge about sedentary behaviour, its medical and public health significance, its correlates and determinants, measurement techniques, and recommendations for addressing this behaviour at the individual, community, environmental, and policy level. Applying a cross-disciplinary methodology, the book avoids considering physical activity and sedentary behavior as a single continuum, which potentially hampers progress in confronting widespread levels of sedentariness. Rather, the book helps readers better understand how sedentary and physically active behavior co-occur and how the two behaviours have distinct contributing factors. Building on the contributions of distinguished international experts in the field, this thorough resource is a valuable asset and challenges professionals, researchers, students, and practitioners alike to adopt new strategies and expand their reach.
