Short description:

The treatment of employees is increasingly becoming recognised as an important ingredient of sustainable enterprise. As sustainability, and all that it implies, becomes ever more critical, this book, with its multiple perspectives on the workplace and on the issues therein, such as diversity in the broadest sense, fills a gap in the research relate

Long description:

The issue of human rights, in the context of corporate social responsibility, is normally taken to relate to concern about exploitation in the supply chain - child labour, slavery in developing countries, and similar evils; but of course, human rights are engaged in relation to the treatment of employees in any work situation. Indeed, as Human Dignity and Managerial Responsibility illustrates, the handling of employees is increasingly recognised as an important ingredient of sustainable enterprise - evidence shows that ethical and socially responsible behaviour is increasingly and successfully being engaged in many large corporations. Much has been written about the responsibilities of managers. Since employees are claimed by all organisations to be among their most important stakeholders it is ironic that research finds that the behaviour of many managers towards employees is often inappropriate. The editors and contributors of Human Dignity and Managerial Responsibility argue that there is a clear connection between maintaining the dignity of the workforce and corporate performance and sustainability. Their multiple perspectives on the workplace examine the position of the employee as a stakeholder, together with issues about managing employees in relation to social responsibility and sustainability. They discuss diversity in the broadest sense, filling a gap in the research-related literature essential to a more rounded understanding of CSR. Human Dignity and Managerial Responsibility will appeal to a wide audience amongst those with an academic or professional interest in CSR, sustainability, governance and stakeholder management, human rights, diversity, human resource management, and organisational development.

'This book is essential reading. It is an innovative examination of issues in business and society that challenge human dignity and are too often ignored. The contributors highlight issues bearing on the conflicting needs and expectations of shareholders and other stakeholder groups and the whole leaves the reader with a feeling that this area of study is still in its infancy.' Christina Reis, University of New Haven, USA 'Today, being aware of social responsibility is considered as a competitive advantage for organizations, the manifest of which is reflected by their continuous effort to comply with human rights, labour practice, community involvement and other social responsibility principles. This valuable book enlightens routes to achieve social responsibility for all interested parties.'
