MORE WISE WORDS FROM...Thomas Kochan "I think [the idea that we will all become free agents] is overstated. We depend on installed knowledge in our workplaces to keep our organizations functioning. If we all became free agents, I'm afraid we would not only have a less productive society, but also a reasonably unpleasant society as well." [27]MIT's Thomas Kochan is a leading academic in the field of Industrial Relations. Last week we talked about social contracts, this week we discuss the legal and social climate. "Take a break, have a laugh, check out this week's [28]HR.comic" ARTICLES TO HELP YOU * Mark Gorkin has the dubious pleasure of consulting on stress to the US Post Office. He talks about the dynamics that trigger workplace violence in this first part of a series on "[29]Going Postal" * Years ago I learned that assessment tests were unreliable. John Towler brings me up-to-date with his short article, [30]Do Assessment Tests Work? * This week we have [31]Research Briefs on international views of appropriate sexual behavior and on the falling legitimacy of unions. * "Do you know what it means to go to an office where you are respected as a human being; where your opinion is appreciated; where your superiors treat you as an equal? It means you've gone to the wrong office." --- Author unknown See [32]Dr. William Denney's Guest Editorial inspired by this wisdom. * Don't miss the week's [33]Biz Fiction and your [34]Horoscope FEATURED PRODUCT OF THE WEEK FREE OSHA Form 300 Upgrade for OSHALOG® The new OSHA Form 300 Log of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses was approved in January 2001.
