This actually pretty new, and has only been around for about 100 years. Early management pioneers such as, Robert Owen, Mary Parker Follette and Huge Munsterberg were the ones that studied the effects of management in the work place. Studies such as what effects the "flow" of the workplace; like movement and placement of things. All of this is a part of the evolution of human resource function.

Still millions of American workers belongs to labor unions, union membership as a percentage has continued to decline at a steady rate. The percentage of the wage that belongs to labor unions in the U.S. has dropped from 26% in 1977 to 12.4% now today. If the government employees were excluded from this then the percentage would be less than 10% of all wage and salary employees in a private industry would belong to the labor unions. ]]> 2017-12-11 23:26:36 UTC https://padlet.com/christine_stevens2_1/HRGalleryDec17/wish/215250418 Employee Onboarding christine_stevens2_1 https://padlet.com/christine_stevens2_1/HRGalleryDec17/wish/215250501 Simply training employees for two weeks and releasing them on their own has proven the wrong way to do things.

Diversity is essential for any organization. I really liked this analogy that I found on line about it below:

"Just as individuals don’t want to put all of their 401(k) money into one type of investment, employers don’t want to place the future of their companies in the hands of one type of employee."
