Discrimination still a problem

Article Abstract:

Fifteen women between the ages of 16 and 22 years who have worked less than six months and whose employers have long-standing equal opportunity policies discuss their work and expectations. Many report being subjected to different questioning and different treatment than male peers during the selection process, and only managers in personnel and related departments are perceived as truly understanding equal opportunity and as treating male and female staff similarly. The women expect to be promoted on merit. They note a tendency to edge women into traditionally female posts, however. They would be inclined to leave organizations where their progress was limited. The women consider themselves lucky to be starting their careers at a time when management is eager to correct attitudes toward women and encourage them into more senior levels.

1992: new frontiers, new horizons

Article Abstract:

The European Community's Free Trade Agreement and the advent of a single European market in 1992 will have major implications for personnel management. Personnel professionals will face challenges in the areas of recruitment, training, conditions of employment, and compensation. Specific challenges include: learning how and where to recruit workers in foreign countries; developing international training programs; and revising remuneration systems to reflect international market rates and trends.
