management practices psychology and work strategies for change workplace health and safety tags business ethics dignity at work and in society employment and labor law future of the workplace management practices psychology and work strategies for change workplace health and safety 10 comments each year the american psychological association sponsors a psychologically healthy workplace award program recognizing employers who excel in these five categories employee involvement work life balance employee growth development health safety employee recognition these are all important considerations and employers that value them in practice are likely to be better places to work than those that do not however as phrased the five apa categories turn the question of what constitutes a psychologically healthy workplace into something of a safe non threatening hr checklist what s missing from the apa formulation is a deeper inquiry into psychological health at work that is harder to describe in a categorical sense but that may hold a more significant key here are eight questions more likely to reveal the presence or lack thereof of a psychologically healthy workplace is there a sense of zest buzz and opportunity in the workplace do employees feel they are valued and treated with respect and dignity is the organizational culture friendly inclusive and supportive is organizational decision making fair transparent and evenhanded are diversities of all types accepted or merely tolerated does the organization face or dodge tough questions concerning employee relations are allegations of mistreatment of employees handled fairly and honestly even when the alleged wrongdoers are in positions of power are compensation and reward systems fair and transparent these inquiries implicate organizational culture and power which may threaten bad and or insecure employers but if we want to get to the heart of whether a given workplace is psychologically healthy we must ask these more difficult questions to learn more about the apa s psychologically healthy workplace award program go here addition for a slightly revised version of these questions see nwi s eightfold path to a psychologically healthy workplace share this print opens in new window print share on facebook opens in new window facebook share on linkedin opens in new window linkedin share on

tags dignity at work and in society leave a comment i just got back from a trip to california to present a seminar and i found myself thinking about the work that service sector workers do here are some of the folks i met the cook server at the pizzeria famiglia at logan airport in boston who prepared a serving of spaghetti and sauce that was of restaurant quality when i told him it was the best plate of food i ve ever had at an airport really it hit the spot he gave me a thumbs up and a thank you the young bellman at the hotel durant in berkeley who was so helpful in arranging a shuttle ride to the airport and remembered my name with a big smile the next day faculty at the western institute for social research in berkeley where i am completing a graduate degree and presented my seminar whose intellectual and personal fellowship and support went above and beyond the call and the employees at jetblue including a ticket agent a pilot and a gate agent who handled my situation with a flight delay with genuine friendliness and helpfulness the service sector covers many different job and income categories as my trip illustrated but the core essence with all of these folks was a certain spark emotional intelligence and interest in doing a good job for others qualities that can make a good day even better and take the edge off of a bad one especially for those of us who also work in the service sector these people are role models and deserve our thanks share this print opens in new window print share on facebook opens in new window facebook share on linkedin opens in new

business ethics from the web s archives management practices tags business ethics good bad bosses management practices leave a comment one time management consultant matthew stewart advises future business leaders to study philosophy instead of getting an mba in the management myth a june 2006 piece in the atlantic http www theatlantic com doc 200606 stewart business stewart pokes fun at the origins of modern management theory especially the work of frederick winslow taylor around the turn of the last century taylor the father of scientific management theory performed time and motion studies to determine what physical movements were required to complete work tasks and claimed that productivity expectations and employee compensation should be based on those findings instead suggests stewart the study and application of philosophy can help managers sort through difficult decisions at work he calls management theory a sadly neglected subdiscipline of philosophy the piece is not as wacky as my brief summary makes it out to be for many years supporters of education in the liberal arts have pointed out that the study of disciplines such as philosophy can make for more thoughtful insightful leaders and problem solvers stewart makes a good case for that kind of intellectual grounding share this print opens in new window print share on facebook opens in new window

dignity at work and in society employment and labor law future of the workplace psychology and work strategies for change workplace bullying mobbing and abuse 6 comments some readers know that i am the author of the healthy workplace bill model legislation designed to give severely bullied workers a right to sue for damages and to impose upon employers legal incentives to act preventively and responsively to workplace bullying since 2003 variations of the bill have been introduced in some 12 state legislatures i believe that someday soon we will see the healthy workplace bill enacted in one or more states dr gary namie whose pivotal public education and advocacy work has been noted several times on this blog has been instrumental in supporting state level organizations to advocate for this legislation here is a status report of where things are http workplacebullyinglaw org this page includes contact information for those who would like to get involved for massachusetts readers who would like to get involved in the newly formed massachusetts healthy workplace advocates please contact greg sorozan at gsorozan nage org we ll be sharing news of our progress soon america has fallen behind canada australia and many european nations on enacting workplace bullying laws in the meantime hardworking employees who have been psychologically pummeled at work are told by lawyers that they have no legal recourse when cruelty and psychological violence are perfectly legal in the workplace something is very wrong share this print opens in new window print share on facebook opens

21 2009 by david yamada in diversity and discrimination future of the workplace tags diversity and discrimination future of the workplace 4 comments as i watched the remarkable inauguration day events on television i realized that they represented a huge step forward for my generation you see tail end baby boomers those of us born in the late 50s and early 60s often have found ourselves sandwiched between the heart of the boomer generation and generation x though technically boomers we did not experience the 1960s the same way we missed being a part of that by just a few years though schooled during the early dawn of the computer age our formative years predated the digital revolution again we just missed to many obama vs clinton represented diversities of race vs gender but for me personally the generational difference carried a ton of meaning as well to see someone in his late 40s a person of the tweener generation assuming the mantle of national leadership is an encouraging sign that finally we ve been able to leave the kids table and compel our older boomer siblings to make some room for us however grudgingly does this mean we ll see a proverbial new generation of leadership in the workplace as well the baby boomer generation on the whole has not been noted for its ability to share the torch much less pass it and this has definite implications for power inclusion and opportunity at work against that reality it s hard to say whether obama symbolizes the arrival the tweeners but it does suggest that we re staking our claim share this print opens in new
