Managing Diversity In Public Sector Workforces

Managing Diversity In Public Sector Workforces

Public and private sector workforces in the U. S. look very different today than they did even 25 years ago. The changes are having a significant effect on how organizations manage their workforces. The old styles of managing heterogeneous workforces are proving to be ineffectual and so management strategies aimed at embracing diversity and inclusion are essential. These strategies can have positive implications for worker satisfaction morale and – ultimately – the delivery of public services to the American people. Managing Diversity in Public Sector Workforces Second Edition examines demographic changes to the U. S. labor force and workplace and the ways in which government employers are managing the diverse populations that now fill public sector jobs. Addressing specific management strategies and initiatives relied on by public sector employers as well as the implications of effectively managing variegated workforces for the overall governance of American society this book demonstrates the importance of ensuring that programs to promote inclusiveness and diversity that appear on paper are carried through to practice through implementation. The book begins with a review of equal employment opportunity and affirmative action and the extent to which EEO and AA are still relied upon in the workplace. It then examines law and other public policy issues surrounding EEO AA and diversity management. The remainder of the book focuses on the core of managing diversity in the public sector exploring the initiatives strategies and programs that government employers either do or might rely on to ensure that the demographic mosaic embodied by their workforces is prepared to meet the needs and interests of the American citizenry of the 21st century. Data are provided on the demographics of the federal state and local government workforces. Separate chapters address each of the following aspects of diversity: race ethnicity gender LGBTQ employment physical ability and the intersection of these constructs. Managing Diversity in Public Sector Workforces Second Edition will be of interest to students of public administration and public personnel management and it is essential reading for all those involved in managing public organizations.

The Behavioural Biology of Zoo Animals

The Behavioural Biology of Zoo Animals

Zoo animals as a population are a diverse array of species from all around the globe. When managed in captivity it is important that key aspects of natural ecology are factored into animal care as well as considerations relating to welfare life history and behavioural needs. The Behavioural Biology of Zoo Animals is the first book on captive animal behaviour and how this applies to welfare. The book enables all aspects of zoo husbandry and management (nutrition enclosure design handling and training enrichment population management) to be based on a sound knowledge of the species its evolutionary history and its natural history. Chapters from expert authors cover a vast range of taxa from primates and elephants to marine mammals and freshwater fish to reptiles birds and invertebrates. A final part looks to the future considering animal health and wellbeing the visitor experience and future visions for zoos and aquariums. For on-the-ground practitioners as well as students of zoo biology animal science and welfare this book provides an explanation of key areas of behavioural biology that are important to fulfilling the aims of the modern zoo (conservation education research and recreation). It explains how evidence from the wild can be implemented into captive care to support the wider aims of the zoo shedding light on the evidence-based approaches applied to zoo biology and animal management.

Practical Guide to ICP-MS and Other Atomic Spectroscopy Techniques A Tutorial for Beginners

Practical Guide to ICP-MS and Other Atomic Spectroscopy Techniques A Tutorial for Beginners

Written by one of the very first practitioners of ICP-MS Practical Guide to ICP-MS and Other Atomic Spectroscopy Techniques: A Tutorial for Beginners presents ICP-MS in a completely novel and refreshing way. By comparing it with other complementary atomic spectroscopy (AS) techniques it gives the trace element analysis user community a glimpse into why the technique was first developed and how the application landscape has defined its use today 40 years after it was first commercialized in 1983. What’s new in the 4th edition: Updated chapters on the fundamental principles and applications of ICP-MS New chapters on complementary AS techniques including AA AF ICP-OES MIP-AES XRF XRD LIBS LALI-TOFMS Strategies for reducing errors and contamination with plasma spectrochemical techniques Comparison of collision and reaction cells including triple/multi quad systems Novel approaches to sample digestion Alternative sample introduction accessories Comprehensive glossary of terms used in AS New vendor contact information The book is not only suited to novices and beginners but also to more experienced analytical scientists who want to know more about recent ICP-MS developments and where the technique might be heading in the future. Furthermore it offers much needed guidance on how best to evaluate commercial AS instrumentation and what might be the best technique based on your lab’s specific application demands. I feel honored to have been asked to deliver the Foreword for this book which is suited not only for beginners but also for more experienced analytical scientists who want to know the advances in plasma spectrochemistry instrumentation and related future opportunities.

Age Friendly Ending Ageism in America

Age Friendly Ending Ageism in America

Age Friendly: Ending Ageism in America is a rallying call to make the United States a more equitable and just nation in terms of age. Age friendliness means being inclusive towards older people as workers consumers and citizens something that can’t be said to exist today. The United States and especially Big Business are notoriously age-unfriendly places a result of our obsession with youth. Virtually all aspects of everyday life in America will be impacted by the doubling or tripling of the number of older people over the next two decades more reason to adopt age friendliness as a cause. Age Friendly shows how large companies are in an ideal position to address the aging of America and in the process benefit from making their organizations more age friendly. Because of its economic power and commitment to diversity in the workplace Big Business—specifically the Fortune 1000—has the opportunity and responsibility to take a leadership role in changing the narrative of aging in America. The book shows that age friendliness offers the possibility of bridging gaps not just between younger and older people but those based on income class race gender politics and geography. More than anything else Age Friendly presents a bold and counterintuitive idea—aging is a positive thing for businesses individuals and society as a whole—and we should embrace it rather than fear it. While ageism is a pervasive force in America that like racism and gender discrimination runs contrary to our democratic ideals there is some good news. An age friendly movement is spreading in America and around the world as a growing number of cities and towns strive to better meet the needs of their older residents. Aa well a concerted effort is being made to convince Big Business that an intergenerational workforce is in the best interests of not just older employees but the companies themselves. Age brings experience perspective and wisdom—just the right skill set for both short- and long-term decision-making. The aging of America also presents major implications for businesses in terms of marketing to older consumers. Baby boomers are still the key to the economy despite marketers’ focus on youth much in part to their collective wealth and propensity to consume. Age friendly marketing thus makes much sense due to the longevity economy i. e. the billions of dollars that older consumers spend each year and the goldmine that looms in the future as they become an even bigger percentage of the population. Finally Age Friendly discusses how more corporations are pursuing social responsibility in addition to maximizing profits—an ideal opportunity for corporations to demonstrate good citizenship by supporting age friendliness on a local state or national level. | Age Friendly Ending Ageism in America
