Cisco turns the Internet inside (and) out

Article Abstract:

The human resources (HR) department of San Jose, CA-based Cisco Systems Inc. has improved its performance and made itself more relevant to the organization by leveraging the computer network technology. The HR function has vastly improved its service to current Cisco employees, as well as the process of recruiting new workers by relying on both the Internet and an intranet. Cisco's external site is a user-friendly and informative Web page that performs the function of gathering mass resumes, thus allowing HR personnel to spend their time on more strategic HR activities. Its internal site updates employees on policies and procedures, facilitates communication between employees and HR, and enables employees to manage their own benefits and personnel information. By leveraging both internal and external Web sites, Cisco's HR department has been able to expedite and cut the costs of recruitment, reduce the administrative staff, and add value to HR.

What you can do about weapons in the workplace

Article Abstract:

The increasing number of employees who are burnt out and frustrated, and the passage of legislation making it legal to carry concealed weapons can lead to violence in the workplace. In 1995, corporate offices and facilities, especially in the retail and health care sectors, were scenes of violent acts committed by former and current employees. Fortunately, there are measures that employers can adopt to avoid possible eruptions of violence in their workplaces. For instance, they can force employees to reveal if they are carrying a concealed weapon. They can also conduct investigations without breaking the law as to whether an employee has violent tendencies. Better yet, they can ban weapons in the workplace through a written policy.
