This book was released on 2021-04-16 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the introduction of policies to combat COVID-19, far greater numbers of employees across the globe—including those with limited job autonomy—have moved to undertake their entire job at home. Although challenging in the current climate, embracing these flexible modes of work such as working at home, including relevant investment in technology to enable this, will not only deliver potential organizational benefits but also increase the adaptability of the labor market in the short and longer terms. Although perhaps not the central concern of many in the current climate, “good” home-based work is achievable and perhaps even a solution to the current work-based dilemma created by COVID-19 and should be a common goal for individuals, organizations, and society. Research also has shifted to focus on the routines of workers, organizational performance, and well-being of companies and their employees along with reflections on the ways in which these developments may influence and alter the nature of paid work into the post-COVID-19 era. The Handbook of Research on Remote Work and Worker Well-Being in the Post-COVID-19 Era focuses on the rapid expansion of remote working in response to the global COVID-19 pandemic and the impacts it has had on both employees and businesses. The content of the book progresses understanding and raises awareness of the benefits and challenges faced by large-scale movements to remote working, considering the wide array of different ways in which the large-scale movement to remote working is impacting working lives and the economy. This book covers how different fields of work are responding and implementing remote work along with providing a presentation of how work occurs in digital spaces and the impacts on different topics such as gender dynamics and virtual togetherness. It is an ideal reference book for HR professionals, business managers, executives, entrepreneurs, policymakers, researchers, students, practitioners, academicians, and business professionals interested in the latest research on remote working and its impacts.

This book was released on 2022-02-25 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Empathy, diversity, inclusion, and soft skills are key building blocks of an innovative workforce challenged to respond to the ever-growing needs of the COVID-19 era. Organizations that value diversity and inclusion are looking for ways to manage the shift of workers and skills from traditional manufacturing to the 21st-century vision by incorporating new technology and tools. In this new model, a diverse workforce is necessary, as creativity and innovation grow from the skills that differentiate humans. Further research into the next steps for using diversity and inclusion in an efficient manner, discovering and training new skill sets, and building sustainability into the creative process is needed to fully embrace this new era of inclusion. Multidisciplinary Approach to Diversity and Inclusion in the COVID-19-Era Workplace highlights best practices of successful companies in the “new normal” conditions caused by the pandemic and provides innovative research on diversity and inclusion to help organizations navigate the changing competitive global environment. Covering a range of topics such as remote work, unconscious bias, and information literacy, it is ideal for professors, researchers, academicians, practitioners, human resource professionals, industry professionals, and students.

This book was released on 2021-07-06 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2020 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 1,7, University of Bamberg, language: English, abstract: During the Covid-19 pandemic, the characteristics of flexible work arrangements changed from mainly voluntary to compulsory. Previous studies have mainly focused on quantitative surveys. However, no research has been conducted to date into whether and to what extent the perception and the effects on subjective well-being differ between the levels of hierarchy. To investigate the influence of the changed conditions, twelve professionals were interviewed. As the questioning is aimed in particular at differences with regard to the hierarchical level, four persons without leadership responsibility, four persons with leadership responsibility and four CEOs were included in the study. Within the framework of a mixed-method research design, semi-structured interviews were conducted and a accompanying quantitative questionnaires evaluated. The qualitative interview data analysis was based on the qualitative content analysis proposed by Mayring. The structure of this master's thesis is divided into several chapters, which will be briefly presented in the following. Chapter 2 describes the Affective-Events-Theory, which is the theoretical guideline of this thesis. Subsequently, it is explained why a high level of subjective well-being of employees is of great importance for a company and has consequences. Thereafter, for the current perception of the employees, flexible work arrangements and the various factors that contribute to this should be used, due to their topicality, to draw on studies shortly before the Covid-19 pandemic (2018 - 2019). In contrast to this, up-to-date studies on perception were presented and evaluated. Chapter 3 „Methodology“ presents the research concept based on a mixed-method approach and describes the analysis's own approach using the qualitative content analysis by Mayring. In addition, this section will introduce the selection criteria and the sample of interview participants. In the fourth chapter, the nine content categories found and their results will then be presented and evaluated. In addition, the quantitative results of the questionnaires from the sample will be evaluated. Finally, the findings are merged and jointly evaluated and interpreted. Chapter 5 describes the implications for theory and practice and describes the limitations and directions for future research. Finally, the study is reflected on the scientific principles and an outlook on the future and current developments is given.

Download or read book The Pandemic Workplace written by Ilana Gershon and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2024-05-15 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A provocative book arguing that the workplace is where we learn to live democratically. In The Pandemic Workplace, anthropologist Ilana Gershon turns her attention to the US workplace and how it changed—and changed us—during the pandemic. She argues that the unprecedented organizational challenges of the pandemic forced us to radically reexamine our attitudes about work and to think more deeply about how values clash in the workplace. These changes also led us as workers to engage more with the contracts that bind us as we rethought when and how we allow others to tell us what to do. Based on over two hundred interviews, Gershon’s book reveals how negotiating these tensions during the pandemic made the workplace into a laboratory for democratic living—the key place where Americans are learning how to develop effective political strategies and think about the common good. Exploring the explicit and unspoken ways we are governed (and govern others) at work, this accessible book shows how the workplace teaches us to be democratic citizens.

Download or read book Global Health Workforce Responses to Address the COVID 19 Pandemic written by Margaret Ziemann and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: National responses to COVID-19 showed that the health and care workforce is capable of hugely positive change. The lessons generated offer powerful evidence on how best to develop a sustainable workforce to deliver on the ambitions of universal health coverage (UHC), health security and the sustainable development goals (SDGs). If governments are to take forward the policies and practices that worked, they should know that:1. Changing scopes of practice and introducing team-based roles is central to an effective, sustainable workforce and can be achieved. 1.1. Health and care workers (HCWs) have proved that they are willing and able to adjust and optimize their roles and meet service needs.1.2. There is an opportunity to capitalize on this and adapt team-based practice across all health and care services, including the essential public health functions. Options include: - optimizing multidisciplinary work and expanding the skill-mix- configuring professional and support roles to maximize available personnel by better leveraging their respective educations, competencies and licences- involving patients and their caregivers in home-based prevention, care and support.1.3. The changes that worked during the pandemic can be sustained best when: - health professional bodies engage with change- incentives are adjusted- protection and support for HCW are in place.2. The use of technology and digital tools has taken huge steps forward - and needs to continue and expand to all countries. 1.1. Information technology (IT) and digital tools - especially for remote consultations - allowed health systems and health professionals to overcome COVID-19 challenges and maintain care continuity.1.2. Expanding the use of technology in the way care is provided can counteract the challenges associated with shortages, maldistribution and skills mismatch.1.3. Care must be taken to avoid exacerbating inequalities, particularly for the digitally excluded.1.4. Health outcomes need to be monitored to ensure quality is not compromised.3. Flexible regulation is the way forward. 1.1. Exceptional measures made changes in scope of practice and the introduction of digital tools possible during the pandemic.1.2. Systems need to be able to adapt as health systems evolve and this means: - reviewing the legislative framework that defines the space in which the health and care workforce (HCWF) operates- considering how regulation works and how quickly it can be adjusted- tackling licensing issues.1.3. The lessons of the pandemic suggest the value of flexibility in regulation and the importance of: - high-quality training and education that will allow the HCWF to meet new responsibilities- monitoring and review of change, transparency and accountability.4. Protecting the health and care workforce is essential. 1.1. Governments made real efforts to protect the security, safety, and physical and mental health of workers during COVID-19.1.2. Improved working conditions and support are obligations of employers and help to retain workers. It requires governments to: - provide physical security and decent working conditions- address diverse needs and psychosocial risk factors, and tackle stigma and discrimination- consider wider measures around childcare, transportation and safe accommodation.1.3. Getting support and protection right enhances retention of the existing workforce and will attract a new generation of HCWs.5. Providing political leadership starts from the top and sets the agenda throughout government and society. 1.1. Heads of state and government leadership and their focus on health made whole-of-government commitments tangible during the pandemic and delivered both resources and solutions.1.2. The challenges facing the HCWF are immense and demand the highest-level political commitment and engagement to: - secure financing- strengthen governance to achieve real collaboration across sectors- prioritize the long-term commitments the HCWF needs.1.3. Implementation means political investment in: - building HCWF capacity to deliver health and care services as well as public health measures- filling critical gaps in public health, and making the HCWF ready for future emergencies- using data monitoring and analysis to plan for the right people and the right services- ensuring education and training fosters the ability to adapt to future change.1.4. The HCWF is central to UHC and health security, and repays political commitment through promoting social cohesion, solidarity and security.

Download or read book Handbook of Health Behavior Research I written by David S. Gochman and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1997-08-31 with total page 548 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primary objective of this Handbook is to provide statements about health behaviour research as a basic body of knowledge moving into the 21st century. It is expected that the Handbook will remain in use and current through 2005, at least. The Handbook presents a broad and representative selection of mid-1990s health behaviour findings and concepts in a single work. While texts and books of readings are available in related areas, such as health psychology, medical anthropology, medical sociology, behavioural health, behavioural risk factors, and changing health behaviours, none of these works was intended to address basic research-generated knowledge of health behaviour, and none was intended to transcend individual disciplines. Accordingly, none of these works presents a broad and representative spectrum of basic health behaviour research reflecting multidisciplinary activities. One work with a title identical to this one but for one word, the Handbook of Health Behaviour Change (Shumaker et al., 1990), deals almost exclusively with applications. This Handbook thus presents the reader with the "state of the art" in health behaviour research, something not found elsewhere.

Book excerpt: From the creator of the popular website Ask a Manager and New York’s work-advice columnist comes a witty, practical guide to 200 difficult professional conversations—featuring all-new advice! There’s a reason Alison Green has been called “the Dear Abby of the work world.” Ten years as a workplace-advice columnist have taught her that people avoid awkward conversations in the office because they simply don’t know what to say. Thankfully, Green does—and in this incredibly helpful book, she tackles the tough discussions you may need to have during your career. You’ll learn what to say when • coworkers push their work on you—then take credit for it • you accidentally trash-talk someone in an email then hit “reply all” • you’re being micromanaged—or not being managed at all • you catch a colleague in a lie • your boss seems unhappy with your work • your cubemate’s loud speakerphone is making you homicidal • you got drunk at the holiday party Praise for Ask a Manager “A must-read for anyone who works . . . [Alison Green’s] advice boils down to the idea that you should be professional (even when others are not) and that communicating in a straightforward manner with candor and kindness will get you far, no matter where you work.”—Booklist (starred review) “The author’s friendly, warm, no-nonsense writing is a pleasure to read, and her advice can be widely applied to relationships in all areas of readers’ lives. Ideal for anyone new to the job market or new to management, or anyone hoping to improve their work experience.”—Library Journal (starred review) “I am a huge fan of Alison Green’s Ask a Manager column. This book is even better. It teaches us how to deal with many of the most vexing big and little problems in our workplaces—and to do so with grace, confidence, and a sense of humor.”—Robert Sutton, Stanford professor and author of The No Asshole Rule and The Asshole Survival Guide “Ask a Manager is the ultimate playbook for navigating the traditional workforce in a diplomatic but firm way.”—Erin Lowry, author of Broke Millennial: Stop Scraping By and Get Your Financial Life Together
