Violence in the Workplace: Incidence, Prevention and Response
[ send me this paper ]
This is an 8 page paper discussing violence in the workplace. Throughout the United States, it has been estimated that each week, there is on average 20 homicides which occur within the workplace and over 18,000 instances of nonfatal violence within the workplace. Obviously, with these high numbers, workplace violence and its prevention and response is very important in regards to management strategies. Some occupations are more at risk when it comes to workplace violence especially those which have a high contact with the public or deal with the exchange of money among other risk areas. Workplace violence prevention includes environmental strategies such as increasing the distance between potential offenders and the employees with the use of bullet-proof barriers among other things; improved or increased staffing during high risk tasks; administrative strategies which include clear anti-violence policies and employee assistance programs for employees who seek help; and behavioral strategies such as training sessions in which employees learn to cope with stressful situations. If workplace violence has occurred, employers must immediately initiate a response plan which includes a response team whose members are comprised with management representatives, securities officers, employee relation specialists, employee assistance program counselors and officials from the public affairs office among others.

Working Class Housing In Early Twentieth Century Britain: Central And Local State Solutions
[ send me this paper ]
12 pages in length. Urban blight was alive and well for the working class population in early twentieth century Britain. With rigid social structure the overwhelming force behind housing populations, Britain's central and local states found themselves with a significant problem on their hands. The squalid conditions that many people called home were slowly but surely becoming the focus of significant strife; as such, a solution had to be found before the working class would rebel any further. Working class housing at the turn-of-the-century Britain reflected a conspicuous absence of civilized surroundings, with structures so decrepit and unappealing that those who were relegated to such living quarters were thought of as social fringe. In order to address this ever-mounting problem, Britain's central and local states took aim and applied the notion of modernism as a means by which to appease the working class.

Workplace Considerations: Entitlements, The History of Rights, Education & Training, Community Support, and Whistle-Blowing
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing some issues considered by employees within the workplace. In addition to the basic elements of an employee contract, employees should be aware of their employers’ support of their employees and to what extent this support covers. Employee entitlements for instance may be expected but can vary from organization to organization. While employees are aware of certain rights which exist within the workplace, they should also know whether or not these rights are indeed better or worse than the rights of those who preceded them. Many organizations support education and training for their employees but in almost all cases, the education should be job related for the employers make a considerable financial investment in their employees and wish to retain them. Employees should also be aware of any community-related support their organization has and to what extent that support also benefits the organization. Lastly, employees should be aware of whether or not their organization and state supports “whistleblowers” and in what instances whistle blowing would be considered a positive step.
