Employee Assistance Programs on Liberal Arts Campuses by Gregory Pogue Pdf

The purpose of this book is to build a database which would assist administrators of colleges and universities in recognizing and meeting the needs of their troubled employees. Higher education in the 1990s is in a state of retrenchment. Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) are rapidly becoming an integral part of the overall philosophy of the Human Resource function in higher education. EAPs are designed to provide professional assistance for employees who are experiencing problems that interfere with their work performance. Complaints that many jobs are debilitating lives and injuring the health of employees are not uncommon. The concept of assisting employees with problems is especially appropriate for institutions of higher education, since they recognize the highly labor intensive nature of their organizations. Understanding and recognizing declining performance and its impact on an organization has become an important function of management.

Human Resource Management in Today's Academic Library by Janice Simmons-Welburn,Beth McNeil Pdf

This book provides a comprehensive look at issues that shape the nature of Human Resources in academic libraries. Libraries in varying academic environments have undergone tremendous change during the last two decades of the 20th century as they have sought redefinition as learning organizations. As organizations they have experienced significant changes in the role and definition of professionalism, along with challenges from such shifting workplace demographics as age and ethnicity and technological issues, which have also had direct impact on the recruitment and retention of staff. Much of the attention of human resources administrators in academic libraries has focused on an array of issues that mirrors concerns across campuses: affirmative action and diversity, the rights of employees with disabilities under the Americans with Disabilities Act, the impact of the Family Medical Leave Act and other directives on employee benefits, salary equity, and a desire among employees for flexible work schedules.

Chapter 3, "A Human Resources Perspective on Wellness and Employee Assistance Programs," by Robert S. Foldesi, focuses on the placement of wellness and employment assistance programs as integral parts of the Human Resource Management Division. Chapter 4 and 5, presented in a different format from the first three chapters, are sources for ideas and inspiration for the development and expansion of wellness programs.

Creating a Tipping Point: Strategic Human Resources in Higher Education by Alvin Evans,Edna Chun Pdf

In a turbulent, unstable era of severe financial pressures, the development of strategic human resource (HR) practices has become an urgent mandate in higher education. With significant and widespread institutional shifts resulting from globalization, heightened competition, and rapid innovation, educational leaders must optimize their most significant resource—human capital—and align HR strategies, structures, and processes with organizational goals. Due to substantial cuts in state appropriations and rapidly diminishing budgets, public institutions of higher education in particular are struggling to realign resources and programs to fulfill their educational missions and maintain academic quality, while simultaneously responding to complex external legislative and accreditation mandates. In light of these challenges, Creating a Tipping Point: Strategic Human Resources in Higher Education breaks new ground by presenting a research-based approach that supports the evolution of HR practices from siloed, transactional models to strategic operations that serve the entire university. This monograph provides a concrete, progressive road map to developing organizational capabilities in support of the university's academic mission and illustrates this pathway with examples drawn from public research universities. It offers strategies, tools, metrics, and action steps that support the development of an effective and efficient strategic HR operation in higher education. For institutions seeking to implement strategic HR, this book is a practical and invaluable resource.

Evaluation of Employee Assistance Programs by Marvin D Feit,Michael J Holosko Pdf

This timely book brings together for the first time critical information about the evaluation of employee assistance programs. Although EAPs have existed for over 40 years, the assessment of their value has been fragmented. Contributors to this new volume--blending practical and academic insights--document concerns, address the newer issues and developments in the field of EAPs, and present case examples of actual evaluations. The range and diversity of topics reflect EAPs in transition, their growth patterns, evaluation needs, and evaluation methods. Overall, this important volume emphasizes that successful evaluations depend not only on methodological expertise but a consideration of much broader salient and societal issues.
