Flexibility in Employment Policy
Flexibility in in Employment Policy
Rapidly changing environment organizations require flexible employment policies to meet the needs of their business, The process of flexible employment policies can be described as the design, development and mainte¬nance of a system of coordinated activities in which individuals and groups of people work cooperatively under leadership towards commonly understood and accepted goals, and these activities can be easily changed according to environmental changes.
The process of flexible employment policies involves the grand design or redesign of the structure, but most frequently it is concerned with the organization of particular func¬tions and activities and the basis upon which the relationships between them are managed. The organizations are not static thing. Changes are constantly taking place in the organization itself, in the environment in which it operates, and in the people who work with. According to the recent surveys: “Some of the larger countries, such as Germany and Italy, have experienced a growth of more flexible forms of employment, while in France, Spain and the United Kingdom the growth of flexibility has been outpaced by the growth of “standard” forms of employment” (7th European Regional Meeting in Budapest, 2005).

Endowment Tax is Unsound Public Policy
I just read in the May 19 Christian Science Monitor that a Massachusetts legislator proposes a 2.5 percent tax on college endowments over $1 billion. The Commonwealth State has nine such institutions including Harvard, MIT, Williams, Boston College, Amherst, Wellesley, Tufts, Smith and Boston University; all of them are among the most selective schools in the United States.
State representative Paul Kujowski, sponsor of the endowment tax legislation believes these institutions have accumulated an exorbitant amount of wealth while retaining their non-profit status. I can believe that Representative Kujowski did the math, and found that Harvard alone would pay $850 million on $34 billion of their endowment and MIT $250 million on their $10 billion; a smart politician knows a cash cow when he sees one.
