Feature: After the Buyout—HR's Rising Equity
The private equity boom may
have peaked, but one of its legacies is that investors recognize the value
of human resources execs who know their financials and can help overhaul
the workforce, revamp compensation and act as a mediator between unions
and the company’s new owners.

Unstable Employee: ADA vs. Organizational Safety
Posted in the Legal Forum:
A reader writes: "I have an employee who is exhibiting severe paranoia.
One more performance corrective action and the employee will be termed.
The employee's manager is concerned about the safety of her other employees.
The employee states that they can read minds, knows that others are ‘up
to something’ and that they are being followed. I do not want to violate
ADA, but there are some serious concerns regarding the employee’s comments,
and safety issues for other employees. Has anyone been through a similar
dilemma? How did you handle it? Also, for the ADA experts out there, how
do ADA and employee safety coexist?"

Putin powerful after his term limit as Russian president is reached.
