Annual Editions: Human Resources 12/13, Twenty-First EditionPrefaceSeriesCorrelation GuideTopic GuideInternet ReferencesUnit 1: Human Resource Management in PerspectiveUnit OverviewPart A. Human Resource Management in Perspective1. Are You a Leader or a Laggard?: HR's Role in Creating a Sustainability Culture, Robert Sroufe, Jay Liebowitz, and Nagaraj Sivasubramaniam, People and Stratergy, vol. 33, no. 1, 2010How can HR be involved and lead in the quest for sustainability? It starts with a guiding philosophy to minimize the organization's impact on the planet, which recognizes the role of human capital in that effort. HR can facilitate that effort through a strategic rather than a piecemeal approach that will assist, if not lead, the organization's sustainability effort.2. Building Sustainable Organizations: The Human Factor, Jeffrey Pfeffer, Academy of Management Perspectives, February 2010There has been much talk and research on the sustainability of the physical environment. Corporations are going to great lengths to "GO GREEN." But there has been relatively little discussion about how to sustain the organization's single greatest asset—its human resources. This is explored here.Part B. Human Resources and Corporate Strategy3. The Leadership Challenges Facing HR: Top CHROs Share Learnings and Advice on What's Next, Steve Steckler, People and Strategy, vol. 33, no. 4, 2010This is a report of a round-table discussion of several current and past Chief Human Resource Officers and what they consider to be their most difficult challenges.4. Grooming the Next Generation, Kasthuri V. Henry, CTP, Strategic Finance, January 2011The workforce is changing and the baby boomers are retiring. Organizations need to be prepared for this eventuality by being proactive in hiring individuals in the labor force. Hiring the best people means going after the best people and this article presents one company's strategy for doing that.5. Engaged Employees = High-Performing Organizations, Bob Kelleher, Financial Executive, April 2011Right now the economy is down, but eventually the economy will not be. Turnover has been low because jobs have been scarce. When the economy starts to pick up, that will change and many companies will find their employees leaving for other firms. But, there are smart firms that have treated their employees better and will not face the eventual talent drain.Part C. Americans with Disabilities Act6. HR Plays Pivotal Role in Adapting Policies to ADA Amendments Act Rules, HR Focus, May 2011The new ADA Amendments Act has made the administration of the ADA much more difficult by expanding the definition of what constitutes a disability. Addressing this issue and preparing managers to deal with the changes brought on by these amendments is the topic here.7. Is Everyone Disabled under the ADA? An Analysis of the Recent Amendments and Guidance for Employers, A. Dean Bennett and Scott E. Randolph, Employee Relations Law Journal, Spring 2011There have been some major changes in the American with Disabilities Act (ADA) with the passage of the American with Disabilities Act Amendments Act of 2008 (ADAAA). The new act greatly expands the ADA and addresses some Supreme Court decisions that limited its application.Part D. Dexual Harassment8. The "Equal Opportunity Harasser": The Slow Demise of a Strange Concept?, John D. Bible, Labor Law Jou
