Reviewing the options for flexibility
Article Abstract:
Personnel specialists need to create and promote more varied policies in response to the evolving needs of a more flexible work force. User-friendly computers can play an increasingly helpful role in personnel planning and administration, requiring increased computer skill levels among human resources staff and more extensive technical and management training. Greater awareness is needed of the interaction between personnel policies and an organization's corporate culture and management style. The need is growing for personnel generalists who have detailed knowledge of the organization, and who can offer something toward strategic and business decision-making.

Shaping tomorrow's workforce
Article Abstract:
Current British thought about the workforce is shaping tomorrow's work patterns. Great Britain has high unemployment, which may stem from some inherent rejection of economic growth. Increased education and training in technical and business areas is recommended. An infrastructure on which the future can be based must be established. This should not be left to the government. Industry must take the lead in setting priorities.
