Workplace trauma and its management

a review of the literature

This report provides the findings from a major review of the research literature on post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and trauma-related mental health. It examines the historical development of our understanding of trauma, and the current definitions available for PTSD. The organisational and legal implications of trauma are explored, as well as the data available on the scale and prevalence of trauma for different occupational groups.

Helping Parents to Work: a study for Kent TEC

In 1993, the Department of Employment introduced a national grant initiative to stimulate the development of out-of-school clubs. This study examines provision in Kent, along with other activities run by Kent Child Care Network and Kent Returners Network. It evaluates the experiences and views of parents and club managers. The report also looks at the experiences of a group of parents and grandparents who attended a parenting skills course.

Trust and Transition: Managing Today's Employment Relationship

This book identifies the two key problems facing senior managers and HR directors: employees' feelings of mistrust and insecurity, and their effects on the employment relationship; and the speed of organisational change which requires employees to make continuous transitions. This book shows that the management of careers in organisations is still possible if career transitions are negotiated with employees, supported by management, and hence recreate trust.

What do Graduates do Next?

This report presents the results of the second follow-up of graduates, undertaken in 1997 by IES and the Careers Development Unit of the University of Sussex, covering almost 600 of the graduates who responded to the initial 1995 survey. The study gives further insight into career development and progress in the labour market up to six years after graduation, and shows the extent of change over the last two years in occupation, salaries, types of contract and employment sectors.

Enrolled Nurses: a study for the UKCC

Despite recent decline in the numbers of enrolled nurses, they are likely to remain a significant element of the NHS nursing workforce for some time. This report examines issues surrounding the employment of these second-level registrants, their careers and deployment. It points to future problems of under-utilisation of enrolled nurses, and reducing career opportunities. The pressures to convert to first level registration are increasing, but barriers, mostly relating to funding, persist. Reductions in the availability of conversion course places may be both premature and unwise.
