Changing Your Workplace: Guide, Working Tool, Case Studies

Tools for Workers, Unions and Managers

Developed jointly by labour and management for use in Canadian workplaces. Changing Your Workplace highlights a practical new approach to change--an approach that can benefit both your organization, and your fellow employees.

In today's workplace, change is perhaps the only thing that is guaranteed. New technologies, employment security, environmental and health concerns, increased competition: workers and managers alike are dealing with major changes in how they perform their jobs, and how they relate to each other.

Changing Your Workplace is based on the experiences of managers and workers who have come up with solutions tailor-made to the needs of their own workplaces.

> Real people, dealing with real challenges.
> Strategies for success.

". . . Unique and timely. . . I strongly recommend these tools. . .They have become available at the very time workplaces are struggling to meet new challenges such as global competition."
