The References Database contains continually updated source listings of recent academic research, books, and professional articles addressing human resource use, worker participation, technology design, and other elements that large and small businesses face as they strive to become flatter, more effective, yet employee-oriented, workplaces. The Organizations Database offers a compendium of nonprofit organizations that can shortcut the search for more information. These resources give Clearinghouse users a chance to refine their areas of inquiry. The Calendar of Events, which will be fully up and running later this spring, will cite national and regional conferences, seminars, and courses to further speed the knowledge curve for those engaged in workplace innovations.
Users can search the calendar by date, subject, or location.
