Performance of mobile worker tied to flexible office design.
Supervision, June, 1996
How and where America works continues to undergo dramatic shifts - from the traditional arrangement with all employees in the office at individual desks, to more and more people working in "alternative office settings." These include home offices, work stations, shared offices and "hoteling" situations. Recent surveys show that eight out of 10 U.S. companies have some employees in an alternative office situation.
With multiple workers using the same office furniture and equipment, and a growing number of people spending time on computers at home for work and pleasure, companies and employees themselves are turning to ergonomic products for the needed flexibility and adjustability, according to ergonomic specialist Nancy Osterman.
