A vision of the new workplace

The development of the physical working environment need not be a waste of capital investment. Office design should focus on providing better working conditions that will help foster employee creativity and generate new ideas which would contribute to the company's success. This will entail the formulation of a cost-effective yet efficient useof physical resources that would balance practicality with high culture. Designers and facilities managers should not limit themselves to standard programs and should address the means of making the working environment enhanceproductivity.

Safe and sound in the workplace

Article Abstract:

Health and safety regulations are particularly important to the warehouse industry, since over one third of accidents reported to UK local authorities and the Health & Safety Executive arise during manual handling operations. Employees are required to minimise the risk of injury during some operations, and give staff precise data over the balance and weight of loads. Firms now have a wide choice of equipment available to reduce the number of handling tasks which staff must perform manually. Employers must also carry out risk assessments in warehouses.

Further, the training should be made relevant to their lives by giving examples related to the household.
