Workforce of One
Companies have excelled by treating customers as «markets of one»-offering them personalized buying experiences. But in managing talent, most firms still use one-size-fits-all HR practices. With today's diverse workforces, this approach is preventing organizations from attracting, retaining, and leveraging top talent.In Workforce of One, Susan Cantrell and David Smith show how exceptional companies are tailoring work experiences to employees' talents and interests-customizing job duties, training, recognition, and even compensation, work schedules, and performance appraisals. Their reward? Lower turnover, greater productivity, improved profit margins.The authors present four customization strategies:-Segmenting your workforce; for example, by life stage and learning style-Offering modular choices; e.g., choices regarding rewards, learning needs, or job duties-Defining broad and simple rules, such as evaluating work by outcomes, not time invested, or hiring for potential in addition to specific skills-Fostering employee-defined personalization, whereby employees define their own people practices (e.g., using peer-to-peer technologies to learn from one another) Drawing on extensive proprietary research, the authors explain how to combine aspects of all four strategies to address your organization's unique needs.Improving workforce performance through customized work experiences is the holy grail of the HR function. This book shows you how the workforce-of-one approach positions your company to win-while transforming your HR team into a strategic powerhouse.

Sterilization of Carrie Buck
Now, the truth about one of America's most shameful moments is revealed in The Sterilization of Carrie Buck. On October 27, 1927, 21-year-old Carrie Buck was sterilized without her understanding or consent – and with the blessings of the United States Supreme Court.Through 1972, this act led to the sterilization of over 50,000 American citizens without their consent, and was the forerunner of the Hereditary Health Law which initiated the slaughter of millions of Jews, Catholics, homosexuals, Gypsies and others opposing the goals of Nazi Germany. At the Nuremberg War Trials, the Carrie Buck case was cited as the precedent for the Nazi race hygiene programs.Here is the shattering chronicle of Carrie Buck's life: her lonely childhood, her harassment at school, the birth of her child, her commitment to the same institution as her mother, the trial at which she was robbed of her ability to have children, and the final decision by Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes that «three generations of imbeciles are enough.», essentially because she was young, poor and powerless.The warning of Carrie Buck's tragedy remains with us even today.
