Management’s Influence On Human
Resources /
Entrepreneurship and Creativity : A 7 page research paper on
the effects that a business’ Human Resource policies can
have on the spirit of creativity and entrepreneurship within
the company. Two examples given are Southwest Airlines
and Lotus Development Corporation. While both officially
and practically put their employees first, Southwest also
includes the concept of providing enhanced customer service
by ensuring they have happy employees. Lotus, at least in
times past, just wanted happy employees. The fortunes of the
two companies reflect what superficially seems to be a minor
divergence of attitude. That single point, though, has made a
world of difference. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Democracy in the Workplace / Examples Of
Success :
A 16 page research paper examining the qualities of three of
the "best" places to work: Measurement, Inc., Federal
Express and GM’s Saturn division. Each of the three
demands the best of their employees; each has some of the
most loyal employees in their respective industries. The
common bottom line among the three is that they view their
employees as thinking, feeling individuals with needs and
aspirations of their own, and each recognizes that happy,
fulfilled employees equals happy, satisfied customers. In
keeping with Theodore Levitt’s admonition that the sole
purpose of any business is to create and then keep a
customer, each of these companies recognizes that any
business achieves that goal only through their employees.

Preventing Drug-Related Workplace
Injuries : A 10 page
paper discussing the influence of drugs on the incidence of
workplace accidents. Most reports in the popular press
indicate that both drug and alcohol use are declining, yet
conflicting reports exist. Some surveys conclude that
substance abuse has declined in some age groups while
increasing in others; the most disturbing finding of all as it
applies to corporate America is that both drug and alcohol
use are increasing in the workplace. Some employers are
beginning to test employees for drugs immediately following
workplace accidents, however, and are having good results in
identifying and removing problem employees until they are
either drug free or terminated, and finding an added benefit
of reductions in worker’s compensation insurance premiums.

Drug Use / Abuse In The Workplace : 12
pages in length.
There exists little tolerance for drug use and abuse in the
contemporary workplace. Not only does substance abuse
disrupt the flow of day-to-day production because of
excessive absenteeism, incessant tardiness and poor job
performance, but it also costs businesses billions of dollars
each year in lost revenue. Drugs have no place in the work
environment, yet there is a significant percentage of workers
who cannot separate their personal lives from their
professional lives, creating a potentially volatile situation by
mixing the two together. The writer discusses drug use as it
relates to the workplace. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
