The years of transition in Central and Eastern Europe brought with them the unprecedented - in these societies - phenomenon of restructuring with dismissals and growing unemployment. Moreover with the emergence and development of the private sector, new enterprises started to leave former corporate models behind to adopt new forms of employment and working conditions arrangements to better adapt to the newly competitive environment. Further many of these countries have now joined the European Union and have started to progressively harmonize their labour laws to community legislation, something that should accelerate their economic and social catching-up process while profoundly influencing their World of work. However there is no much evidence collected so far an these countries' enterprise practices in terms of labour contracts, working time, and other working conditions something that this articles proposes to investigate more in depth. At enterprise level are the conditions at work following similar patterns in new EU member states? Have they started converging in a significant way towards EU standards? Or are they already following diverging trends in certain areas? What could be said about the general direction of the World of work in the EU 25?

Humanizing Businesses for a Better World of Work provides a strategic perspective on how organizations can transform their structures and practices to accommodate a more humanized, people-first workplace in the face of the fundamental transitions happening in the post-pandemic world. The book delves into several key areas of organizational transformation such as innovative organizational structures, the collaboration between businesses and B-schools, redesigning work models and environments, the impact of global megatrends on the talent economy, rethinking and cultivating brand's personality and values, and the role of organizational leaders in this process. Editors Radhika Shrivastava and Kokil Jain have brought together a diverse group of contributors to explore the concept of humanizing businesses and the role it plays in developing greater strategic resilience to navigate future shocks. This unique approach will be highly valuable for academic researchers in the field of organizational behaviour, human resource management, and strategic management, as well as MBA/Executive Education students and practitioners in these areas.

Daytime television serials were analyzed for their representation of the world of work. It was found that 80 percent of all jobs portrayed were in the professional, technical, and managerial category with a very high representation of jobs in the health fields. When occupations represented by men and women characters were separately analyzed, similar patterns of gross overrepresentation of the professional occupations and underrepresentation of clerical, sales, and benchwork categories were noted. This distortion of the world of work as portrayed on television serials was compared with the distortion already noted in the occupational literature.
