This book suggests how to Set up the office, wherever that may be - at a company site, at home, at a corner cafe, on a commuter train Interact with colleagues Organize and pace work Select and arrange equipment and furniture Maintain the physical climate - lighting, sound, heating and cooling The book is a practical one, based on sound theory and solid research. Written for non-engineers as well as those in the industry, it has a conversational tone, reflects true-life situations that office workers face, and is adaptable to multiple office settings. While budding ergonomists will find it educational, office managers and designers will benefit from it as well. You will find ten fast-paced chapters, augmented with brief case studies and illustrations, and capped off with a series of practical design recommendations.
