        Managing Staff Turnover

        by Häfner, Alexander; Truschel, Christina

        The long-term retention of top performers is of great economic relevance for companies. Unwanted staff turnover generates high costs in companies and is often accompanied by losses in terms of quality, customer satisfaction and productivity. In addition, it is becoming increasingly difficult to recruit good specialists and managers on the labor market.  Based on the current state of research, this book describes guidelines for the systematic analysis of reasons for staff turnover and provides practical recommendations for how to retain top performers (e.g., conducting retention interviews, designing attractive career paths). It also explains how classic HR tools, such as employee surveys or team meetings, can help prevent unwanted turnover. The topics presented range from the initial training, through discussions to clarify expectations, to exit interviews and typical problems encountered when implementing turnover management. Special emphasis is placed on the question of what both immediate superiors (e.g. team leaders) and those responsible for personnel and organizational development as well as the management can do to prevent unwanted staff turnover. Case studies from various industries (e.g. production, retail, care) round off this book. For:• professionals in leadership positions• HR managers• personnel and organizational developers• business consultants, coaches, and supervisors• personnel psychologists• students and teachers of industrial, business andorganizational psychology as well as businessadministration

        Making work more equal

        A new labour market segmentation approach

        by Damian Grimshaw, Colette Fagan, Gail Hebson, Isabel Tavora

        This book presents new theories and international empirical evidence on the state of work and employment around the world. Changes in production systems, economic conditions and regulatory conditions are posing new questions about the growing use by employers of precarious forms of work, the contradictory approaches of governments towards employment and social policy, and the ability of trade unions to improve the distribution of decent employment conditions. The book proposes a 'new labour market segmentation approach' for the investigation of issues of job quality, employment inequalities, and precarious work. This approach is distinctive in seeking to place the changing international patterns and experiences of labour market inequalities in the wider context of shifting gender relations, regulatory regimes and production structures.

        Holding bankers to account

        A decade of market manipulation, regulatory failures and regulatory reforms

        by Oonagh McDonald

        This book provides a compelling account of the rigging of benchmarks during and after the financial crisis of 2007-08. Written in clear language accessible to the non-specialist, it provides the historical context necessary for understanding the benchmarks - Libor, Forex and the Gold and Silver Fixes - and shows how and why they have to be reformed in the face of rapid technological changes in markets. Though banks have been fined and a few traders have been jailed, justice will not be done until senior bankers are made responsible for their actions. Provocative and rigorously argued, this book makes concrete recommendations for improving the security of the financial services industry and holding bankers to account.

        European labour movements in crisis

        From indecision to indifference

        by Thomas Prosser

        Prosser argues that labour movements respond to European integration in a manner which instigates competition between national labour markets. In an engaging style which will be accessible to scholars, students and policymakers, the book bases its hypothesis on analysis of four countries, Germany, Spain, France and Poland and two processes: the collective bargaining practices of trade unions in the first decade of the Eurozone and the response of trade unions and social-democratic parties to austerity in Southern Europe. In the first process, although unions did not intentionally compete, there was a drift towards zero-sum outcomes which benefited national workforces in stronger structural positions. In the second process, during which a crisis resulting from the earlier actions of labour occurred, lack of solidarity reinforced effects of competition.

        Power, politics and influence at work

        by Tony Dundon, Miguel Martinez Lucio, Emma Hughes, Debra Howcroft, Arjan Keizer, Roger Walden

        The book is a short text that provides introductory material to debates about the changing nature and shape of work and employment. It is not pitched as a descriptive textbook but a text that engages in debate and provides an argument that employment is essentially an unequal exchange. It is premised on the concept of power and how power is diffused and transmitted within and across organisations. To this end the changing world of work cannot be divorced from several overlapping power dynamics that have resonance to wider societal debates: issues of labour market inclusion and exclusion or marginalisation, profit and wealth distribution, political influence and employment regulation, union representation and community solidarity and agency. Voice and influence therefore needs to be contextualised within a much broader discussion regarding work and employment changes.
