Rehired employee harassed by co-workers

Article Abstract:

Suggestions in dealing with harassment problems experienced by a rehired employee are presented. The problem began when an argument between two union employees, a man and a woman resulted into both of them getting fired. The woman opposes the discharge and union officials recommend that she be reinstated. However, upon returning to work, the woman is ostracized by fellow workers and finds her locker and car vandalized. In situations like this, it is essential that both management and the union be involved. It must be verified if the vandalism did occur. Employees must also be informed that this kind of harassment will not go unpunished. Supervisors must monitor the situation and respond to further complaints made by the employee involved. Employees also have the right to file legal charges in which the company could be held liable due to its inability to guarantee a safe workplace.

Benefits program helps retain frontline workers

Article Abstract:

Manor Care Inc's desire to become a world-class service organization and to establish a reputation as the preferred provider in the areas it serves has compelled the company to redesign its employee benefits program. The Maryland-based holding company realized that the attainment of its goal of improved performance would depend a great deal on its frontline employees. A study of Manor Care's benefits program showed that it was not satisfying employee needs. Mindful of the high employee turnover, the firm quickly set out to develop a benefits package that would better serve the needs of its workforce. The new program was designed in such a way that it rewards length of service with the company and lightens the financial burden of lower-paid employees. A follow-up survey showed that 85% of Manor Care employees found the new benefits program better than the previous package.

Employees team up with HR

Article Abstract:

The human relations department of United Electric Controls Co has installed an improvement process, known as the Valued Employee Program, founded on participatory management and the work group concept. The program focuses on employee participation in such activities as a worker suggestion program called the Value Ideas Program, problem-solving action centers, and membership in committees. The initial gathering of input was made through CEDAC (cause and effect diagram with the addition of cards), wherein employees were encouraged to propose solutions to problems posted by the human relations department. Employee input was further enhanced with their participation in any of three volunteer employment teams: the Occupational Health and Safety team, the Employee Involvement team, and the Human Resources Policies and Practices team.
