  Trust and Transition: Managing Today's Employment Relationship

  Herriot P, Hirsh W, Reilly P | Feb 1998 | John Wiley & Sons

  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.

  Enrolled Nurses: a study for the UKCC

  Seccombe I, Smith G, Buchan J, Ball J | Nov 1997 | Institute for Employment Studies

  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.

  Huws U | Nov 1997 | Citizen's Income Study Centre

  As we move into the global Information Society, a profound restructuring of work is taking place across Europe. New, flexible forms of employment offer both opportunities and threats. Whilst they open up new possibilities for groups previously disadvantaged in the labour market, they also create new forms of insecurity for those who used to think they had a permanent, full-time job for life.
