The workforce is changing under the onslaught of modern technology, and with it the office landscape. As we settle into the information age, the increase in population of white-collar workers continues to outpace that of other segments of the labor force. The higher level of training required for these upper-level positions has manifested itself in an increase in employee absenteeism and turnover. This is beginning to pose serious financial and productivity problems to the corporate world. This 2-hour interactive online course should be used as a basis to plan a workplace environment that will facilitate greater interaction between people and their support facilities.
