Today’s workplace is becoming more inclusive, diverse and accommodating. A one-size-fits-all approach fails to account for individual differences and specific needs. By increasing the adjustability in the office, employees can move toward the goals of creating a healthy, productive and ideal work environment.

Attendee Takeaways:

1. Connect workplace risk factors with healthcare-related expenses and loss experience
2. Appreciate the risk related to low-quality, outdated and poorly designed office workspaces
3. Improve employee wellness and promote a positive workplace
