The new deal at work

de Peter Cappelli · Publicada por primera vez en 1999

In The New Deal at Work, Cappelli helps managers to understand the dynamics shaping today's market-driven workforce. According to Cappelli, the new employment contract creates pressing dilemmas for employers: How do you encourage commitment in your workforce when you can no longer promise long-term security? How can specialized skills be developed when training programs are being pared down or eliminated? The New Deal at Work reviews steps that managers can take to develop critical employee skills and maintain employee commitment - even in the context of a market-driven workforce. The New Deal at Work is at once a comprehensive chronicle of the chain of events that have changed the relationship between employers and employees, and a perceptive look at how many companies are already responding to the new trends. Cappelli's insights will help managers as well as those who study the changing nature of organizations to understand what employees are searching for in their careers, and how companies can adjust to meet these new expectations.
