Produktbeschreibung

"All Change at Work" focuses on change, captured by gathering together an enormous bank of data from four large-scale and highly respected surveys, and plotting trends from 1980 to the present. In addition, a special panel of workplaces, surveyed in both 1990 and 1998, reveals the complex process of change. Comprehensive in scope, the results are statistically reliable and reveal the nature and extent of change in all places of work except the smallest of British workplaces.
