Download or read book Job Security in America written by Katharine G. Abraham and published by Brookings Institution Press. This book was released on 1993 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the onset of the recession in 1990, job security has moved to the forefront of labor market concerns in the United States. During economic downturns, American employers rely heavily on layoffs to cut their work force, much more than do their counterparts in other industrialized nations. The hardships imposed by these layoffs have led many to ask whether U.S. workers can be offered more secure employment without burdening the companies that employ them. In this book, Katharine Abraham and Susan Houseman address this question by comparing labor adjustment practices in the United States, where existing policies arguably encourage layoffs, with those in Germany, a country with much stronger job protection for workers. From their assessment of the German experience, the authors recommend new public policies that promote alternatives to layoffs and help reduce unemployment. Beginning with an overview of the labor markets in Germany and the United States, Abraham and Houseman emphasize the interaction of various government policies. Stronger job security in Germany has been accompanied by an unemployment insurance system that facilitates short-time work as a substitute for layoffs. In the United States, however, the unemployment insurance system has encouraged layoffs and discouraged the use of work-sharing schemes. The authors examine the effects of job security on the efficiency and equity of labor market adjustment and review trends in U.S. policy. Finally, the authors recommend reforms of the U.S. unemployment insurance system that include stronger experience rating and an expansion of short-time compensation program. They also point to the critical link between job security and the system of worker training in Germany and advocate policies that would encourage more training by U.S. companies.

Book excerpt: This guide is intended to serve as a reference tool to individuals responsible for planning and implementing a work force reduction program. The information included in the guide represents a synthesis of practices that have worked for a number of companies, individuals, and communities that have had to cope with a work force reduction. The first of the guide's four parts discusses the many benefits of developing and implementing a responsible work force reduction program, including cost savings in unemployment insurance, increased productivity and morale, improved company image and community relations, and improved communications with workers and the community. The federal, state, and employer/union contractual funds that are available for dislocated worker assistance programs are described in the second part. Part 3 explains 6 general principles for responsible work force reduction programs and 10 key steps in planning a program. Part 4 discusses the special needs of dislocated workers; 10 types of reemployment services (group job search workshops, formal assessment, career planning, job development and placement, occupational training, job clubs, on-the-job training, basic education, resource areas, and relocation assistance); and four supportive services for dislocated workers (individual benefit planning, unemployment insurance, personal counseling, and temporary financial assistance). The addresses and phone numbers of the National Alliance of Business' seven regional offices are included. (MN)

Download or read book Employment Security and Labor Market Flexibility written by Kazuyoshi Kōshiro and published by Wayne State University Press. This book was released on 1992 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the oil crisis of the 1970s, increased labor market flexibility seems to have become an indispensable ingredient of economic success. This book examines the critical issues that affect labor market flexibility and job security in the main industrialized economies of the United States, Japan, West Germany, the United Kingdom, and Europe, in an attempt to more fully understand the complex forces at work within such labor markets. Employment Security and Labor Market Flexibility originated from The International Symposium on Labor Market Flexibility in Yokohama, Japan, in 1986, in which scholars in economics, industrial relations, and labor law scholars scrutinized the similarities and differences of the labor markets in these countries. They focused on three main topics: wage flexibility in response to changing economic conditions, the legal and institutional framework for employment security, and international comparison of employment adjustment. Comparison of wage flexibility as well as numerical and functional flexibility among these countries were examined by both qualitative and quantitative analyses. The labor market cannot be treated in the same way as other markets because it deals directly with human beings who are less likely to obey the immutable laws of the market mechanism. Nevertheless, Kazutoshi Koshiro asserts that it is still important to build a framework on which to understand and assess the role of labor flexibility in the competitive process, and it is with this framework in mind that these chapters have been assembled into one volume. Individual chapters compare the relative flexibility of compensation and employment over the business cycle in the United States with that of Japan; analyze the relative flexibility of Japanese wages; unravel some of the underlying forces that comprise the employment security situation in the United States; study the important relationship between economic conditions and the labor market and explain the difference between the employment protection legislation of the United States on the one hand, and Europe and Japan, on the other; and compare the nature of labor markets and employment adjustment techniques of the United States, Europe, and Japan.

Book excerpt: Does your organization have an immediate need to reduce the number of employees? Do you plan to downsize in the future? Downsizing will force you to think about the human side of workforce reductions and make downsizing with dignity your ultimate goal. Author Peter Garber will not only help you implement a reduction of force in your organization. He also will present important factors you must consider as you go through the process. How do you ensure each person is treated with respect and dignity? Garber gives his insight into this sensitive area as well as advice such as: Don¿t blame yourself, focus on what you can control, develop a plan and don¿t make things worse for employees. Get answers to such questions as: When should you make a public announcement? Will you have to re-assign employees who are staying to pick up the slack? How will employees be informed? What should you tell employees about long-term job security? How can you ensure a legally defensible plan? How can you restore morale moving forward? The book concludes with a checklist of the principal tasks involved in a downsizing initiative. This book is part of the HR Skills Series.
