Personnel's role in managing disability

Article Abstract:

Research by the Institute of Personnel Management and the City University's Rehabilitation Resource Centre reveals that there is a need for personnel managers to assist in helping to promote and develop disabled employees by recognizing individual needs and abilities. Personnel managers can take steps to improve job opportunities for handicapped people including: dispelling misconceptions about handicaps; reviewing personnel procedures to make sure they are not prejudiced against people with disabilities; helping handicapped employees to become connected with specialist disability organizations; and reviewing or developing disability policies for directors' reports which are required for companies employing over 250 people.

Personnel Management 20 years on

Article Abstract:

An overview of the 20-year history of Personnel Management magazine reveals important trends over the years. The field of personnel management in Great Britain has changed, growing in professionalism and importance. The development of the educational qualification system; the ending of a preoccupation with labor disputes brought about by the decline of manufacturing and trade union membership; and the adoption of three year business plans linking business and personnel strategy have enhanced the role of personnel in business management.
