Peter Cappelli

The days of lifetime jobs and employee loyalty are over. Instead, competition and other market forces lead to company lay offs and employees leaving for the highest bidder. With this change has come the problems of retaining talent, making investments in development pay, and managing without commitment. Based on research from his book, "The New Deal At Work," Peter explores the developments in employment relationships that cause us to rethink our long-held assumptions about managing people. He reveals that the new arrangement shifts many of the risks of business from employer to employee, as individuals must now assume responsibility for developing their own skills and careers. Peter provides historical perspective and insight for company leaders looking to manage the current economic reality. Anyone concerned about the nation's economic policies will gain valuable insights from his findings.
