Changing Your Workplace:
Tools for Workers, Unions and Managers

Changing Your Workplace highlights a practical new approach to change--an approach that can benefit both your organization, and your fellow employees.

Changing Your Workplace is based on the experiences of managers and workers who have come up with solutions tailor-made to the needs oftheir own workplaces.

"The only workplace change tools on the market that have been developed with the direct input of labour as well as management--refreshingly practical."
-
Nancy Riche, Executive Vice President, Canadian Labour Congress and Labour Co-chair, Canadian Labour and Business Centre

". . . Unique and timely. . . I strongly recommend these tools. .They have become available at the very time workplaces are struggling to meet new challenges such as global competition."
Tim Reid, Past President, Canadian Chamber of Commerce and Past Business Co-chair, Canadian Labour and Business Centre.
