Resource management is a series of processes and techniques used to ensure that you have all the resources needed to successfully complete a project or achieve business objectives. It also aims to optimize the use of these resources by eliminating waste for more profits. The mission of the Human Resources function is to ensure that the organization has the personnel necessary for its operation and that these personnel do their best to improve the performance of the organization, while developing themselves. Effective resource management is essential to protect, support and use the company’s most valuable asset to its strategic advantage. Implemented correctly, an optimal resource management strategy can increase efficiency, improve profit margins and positively impact customer and employee satisfaction.
Drawing on case studies from France, Germany, and China, this book argues that the dynamic interactions between time and autonomy have fundamentally reshaped the evolution of work. Jens Thoemmes details how time autonomy transitioned from early efforts to reduce working hours to today’s complex debates about managing work time. Initially focused on reclaiming time from employers during the nineteenth century, time autonomy has broadened to encompass how work integrates into overall social time. Beginning in the late 1960s, new tools like flexitime, time-savings accounts, and telecommuting began aligning employee aspirations with production demands, marking a shift towards more flexible work arrangements. Placing work environments from France, Germany, and China in comparative perspective, this book explores the way time autonomy varies in different workplaces and socioeconomic contexts as well as the conditions, opportunities, and risks involved.

Le débat sur l'éthique dans les organisations et les dilemmes soulevés prennent de plus en plus d'importance dans le domaine du travail. Comment, au quotidien, les acteurs syndicaux et patronaux jonglent-ils avec les problèmes éthiques qu'ils rencontrent ? Quels types de comportements sont attendus des travailleurs qui s'investissent dans une démarche éthique ? Quelles sont les conséquences des décisions non éthiques prises dans les organisations ? Sanctionner les conduites non éthiques suffit-il ? Doit-on chercher à aller au-delà de la sanction et du droit ? Comment engager son organisation dans une démarche éthique positive et responsable ? Telles sont quelques-unes des questions qui ont été abordées à ce 60e congrès annuel des relations industrielles.
