Industrial Relations in Practice Series – serie

Relocation is a fact of business life today. For many good business reasons organisations move to new areas and ask their employees to relocate with them. Also during staff training and the handling of subsidiary operations companies may require individuals to work in another part of the country, or even abroad. Managing Relocation, the first complete account of employee relocation, provides a practical approach to the questions and problems that arise during any relocation exercise. What financial and other assistance should organisations offer their employees? How can the pitfalls of employment law be avoided? Is special action required when staff are asked to work overseas? What are the tax consequences of relocation in the UK and abroad? Here is a book for all organisations which relocate staff regularly and for newcomers to the subject. Susan Shortland has written an invaluable guide for all those involved in moving people - from personnel and industrial relations managers to professional specialists in relocation and removals.

The physical and mental health of an employee influences attendance and quality of work. Indifferent health and lack of a sense of well-being affects both the individual and the efficiency of the organization. This book is designed to give general and specific guidance to non-medical personnel involved with the health of employees in offices and similar surroundings. It examines factors at work which influence health and explains how to deal correctly with personal situations without causing unnecessary distress. Medical terminology is restricted to providing understanding of terms commonly used by doctors in communications. The "Industrial Relations in Practice" series is intended for personnel managers, union negotiators, employees, welfare advisors and lawyers, with an emphasis on current practice in leading British organizations. Aimed at both sides of industry, it features topics of concern to the work-force of today and those responsible for its management.
