Personnel's predatory problems

Abstract

The continuation of legislative developments affecting the employment and welfare of people at work is creating a need for a thorough re‐assessment of personnel sections, and maybe an audit to see how the latter are coping with new needs. At any one time so much is in the pipe‐line (as I write, there are proposed codes of practice in three areas by ACAS, and proposed regulations by the Health and Safety at Work Commission) that it almost needs a separate crystal ball section forecasting future needs for advice and assistance to line management in keeping in touch with changing requirements. It is not just that proposals are difficult to keep in touch with, but that what happens to them becomes confused.
