Personal credibility is key to being successful and effective in the workplace. But with only some organisations having Human Resources (HR) representation at the top level, despite its strategic importance, it is often difficult for HR professionals to get their voices heard, to be taken seriously, and to have the influence and impact in the organisation they want and need.

In order to have influence and impact, HR professionals must be able to effectively communicate their credibility - the requisite knowledge and skills, expertise and capability. This book will show them how. It is a practical 'how to' guide that HR professionals can use to adapt their behaviour and approach to communicate their credibility at the most senior level whilst still remaining professional, authentic and ethical. The book provides an in-depth examination of credibility, what it is, and what it isn't, explaining its vital importance in achieving influence and impact, using a tried and tested, practical framework, that enables the reader to communicate their credibility in any situation.

The book is specifically written for people in HR roles, and has been researched, designed and tailored to address real-life issues and concerns.

Psychosocial Risk Management for a Healthier Workplace gives practitioners what most guidance leaves out: a clear, evidence-informed path from knowing psychosocial risk matters to actually reducing it. It turns a daunting, fast-moving topic into simple concepts and work you can plan, defend, and get done.

The book moves from foundational concepts through to day-to-day practice. It explains what psychosocial hazards are and how they lead to harm, then turns to the organisational work of engaging executives, middle managers and staff and securing funding. It covers policies, processes, trauma-informed design, and the integration of WHS and HR, and maps the major regulatory frameworks, including ISO 45003, the Canadian National Standard, the Safe Work Australia Model Code of Practice, and the UK Management Standards. A six-step risk management process sits at its core, alongside detailed treatment of nineteen common hazards, each with its causes, evidence of harm, and available controls. Industry case studies, a ninety-day action plan, and an academic companion chapter complete it. One argument runs throughout: change the work, not the worker.

Psychosocial Risk Management for a Healthier Workplace is essential reading for workplace health and safety professionals, HR professionals, wellbeing and mental health leads and anyone with responsibility for introducing psychosocial risk management practices.

A vibrant manufacturing sector is essential to the economic welfare and national security of the United States. Yet for decades, industry and government leaders have avoided practices that other nations have embraced. These choices now place the U.S. at a disadvantage when establishing and scaling new manufacturing capabilities. Two simple questions reveal the core of the problem. First: Why has the United States lost 33% of its manufacturing workforce (six million jobs) since 2000? Second: Why has Germany, a fellow high-tech economy, avoided anything close to such losses?

This book provides honest, evidence-based answers to these questions, illuminating the policy failures, structural weaknesses, and strategic gaps that have undermined American manufacturing. More importantly, they point directly to the steps required to spark a true revival of modern U.S. manufacturing. Blending clear explanation with sharp analysis, this book offers a comprehensive tour of the American manufacturing ecosystem: its economic and strategic value, its global competitors, and the forces (e.g., trade policy, management philosophies, cybertheft, intellectual property, labor practices, and government investment) that shape its strength. It also provides one of the first nuanced discussions of the ethics of manufacturing and trade, confronting issues that are often ignored yet essential to any honest conversation about global competition.

The book challenges readers to look beyond familiar headlines. Yes, the United States runs a massive trade deficit with China-but few realize that state-sponsored cybertheft extracts a comparable amount each year. Many know about labor abuses in overseas factories, but far fewer understand how illegal labor practices distort global markets or why certain investments are labeled "infrastructure" while others are dismissed as threats to free markets. These realities matter, and they directly influence America's economic resilience, national security, and technological future. At its core, this is a call to rethink American manufacturing-not as a fading relic of shuttered foundries, but as a foundation for high-tech growth, well-paid careers, and national strength. It explains how decades of underinvestment and policy missteps allowed competitors to surge ahead, especially after China entered the WTO, and it outlines what the United States must do to rebuild a thriving, competitive manufacturing base.

This book invites readers to imagine a different future: one where factories are expanding, not closing; where innovation is made in America; and where national defense and economic prosperity are never in doubt. The United States has long been a manufacturing powerhouse. With informed policy and renewed commitment, it can remain one.

This edited volume offers the first critical perspective on how different business entities -from multinational corporations, to cooperatives, social enterprises, community wealth-building projects, activist hedge funds and Indigenous companies - envisage corporate accountability for human and ecological rights and how this connects to ideas and processes of democratizing the economy.

Taking an actor-focused approach and collecting interdisciplinary case studies of different industries across Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin and North America since 1945, the book examines a wide range of business reactions to social and judicial critiques, as well as its attempts to weaken international and national accountability processes or foster progressive frameworks of social equality and human and environmental rights. It therefore challenges the idea of neoliberal hegemony as a stable condition and emphasizes the diversity and fragmentation of business responses to corporate accountability and the way they intersect with wider struggles for economic justice and democracy, nature's rights, and ecological regeneration.

This book will be of key interest to scholars, students and practitioners in corporate accountability, human rights, social and environmental justice, democracy, and more broadly to law, sociology, civil society and political science.

Modern co-operative and mutual enterprises (CMEs) are member-owned corporations. Found around the world and across all industries, CMEs exist to solve economic and/or social problems. Funded by the Australian Research Council (ARC) the research underlying this book draws upon multiple longitudinal case studies across industries and nations, collected, and analysed by the authors, to examine the economic and social contribution of the CME business model to their members at a regional or national level. Commencing with an overview of the nature and history of CMEs, the book deploys multiple theoretical frameworks to examine the roles played by social cooperation, government policy, industry structure, and the natural environment in shaping CME business models, corporate strategies, and organisational configurations. The book concludes with a synthesis of the economic and social contributions of these cases, examining their similarities and differences with comparison cases and broader global research. The book's greatest strengths are its historical depth, the scale of its empirical base, and its practical relevance to CME practitioners and policymakers. The inclusion of demutualisation cases alongside enduring success stories gives the analysis genuine critical balance. This is a significant and timely contribution to the CME literature, offering both theoretical rigour and rich empirical grounding. It will be of considerable value to researchers, educators, CME directors and managers, and anyone interested in alternative enterprise models that prioritise community and member benefit alongside economic sustainability.

The Texas craft beer commercial market has grown tremendously in the past decade, and with it an in-state brewing industry has emerged, including brewery owners and professional brewers of many levels. The demographics of brewing industry owners and employees, however, are largely monolithic with representation of minority groups severely lagging the overall population distribution. Beyond the Taproom: Exploring Representation in Texas Craft Brewing explores this discrepancy with a survey of current statistics for various minority groups, historical data on the alcohol industry and civil rights issues, and a focus on select breweries and individuals working within the Texas craft beer industry.

As part of his research for this book, Paul Hightower interviewed owners, brewers, managers, support staff, and other professionals at Texas breweries (and related businesses) that are owned and operated by individuals who identify with underrepresented demographic groups in the state's craft beer industry. Hightower presents anecdotal information gleaned from those interviews interwoven with statistical and historical information, framing personal stories about the interviewees' challenges and successes within the larger sociopolitical context and history of the beer industry and civil rights movements in Texas and the United States. By doing so, Hightower not only highlights the importance of representation within the craft brewing community but also demonstrates the need for continued examination of the factors impacting the demographics within the industry.

Beyond the Taproom is a significant and unique addition to the formal history of craft brewing in Texas and will inspire newcomers to the industry and serve as a springboard for future research.

This book emerges at a moment when Europe is confronting two profound and interconnected transformations: the digitalisation of work and the ageing of its workforce. Drawing on comparative insights from 22 European countries and the collaborative work of COST Action CA21107: "Work Inequalities in Later Life Redefined by Digitalisation", the volume brings these developments into dialogue rather than treating them as separate policy or research concerns. It asks how digital change reshapes work inequalities, health, inclusion, and opportunity in later working life. Through an introductory chapter and 22 country chapters, the book offers a rich, context-sensitive account of how older workers experience digital transformation across diverse labour markets, institutions, and social settings. It synthesises existing knowledge on how work inequalities in later life are redefined by digitalisation, examines the impact of digitalised work environments on older workers' health, and identifies best practices for understanding and overcoming digital challenges among older people across Europe. In doing so, the volume highlights both the risks of exclusion, technostress, and widening inequality, and the possibilities opened by inclusive technologies, lifelong learning, age-sensitive workplace design, and supportive public policies. It invites scholars, policymakers, employers, and practitioners to rethink digitalisation not only as a technological transition, but also as a social challenge that must be shaped deliberately to support fair, healthy, and sustainable working lives for all generations.

This book redefines what it truly means to "go Lean." It challenges the widespread misconception that Lean is simply a toolkit for boosting efficiency within traditional mass production systems. Instead, it presents Lean as a comprehensive industrial paradigm -- an alternative rooted in scalable artisanship, continuous learning, and deep respect for people.

Drawing on Toyota's foundational practices and real-world case studies from across Europe and the Nordics, this book offers a fresh, practice-driven perspective on authentic transformation. Structured around the key contrasts between mass production and Lean thinking, the book helps readers reframe essential business domains -- including product development, quality, logistics, supplier relationships, and people development. Each chapter blends historical insights from Toyota with contemporary examples from industries such as food production, precision manufacturing, and industrial services. The result is a guide that is both practical and philosophical, bridging the gap between abstract principles and the daily realities of leading change.

Authored by a team of globally recognized Lean experts with decades of hands-on experience, this book draws credibility not only from thought leadership but from guiding real transformations in organizations of all sizes. Their combined expertise moves the conversation beyond theory, offering actionable strategies for executives, managers, and coaches committed to driving meaningful change -- not just process optimization.
