See how leading companies are redesigning their work space to save money, improve employee satisfaction and drastically reduce their environmental footprint.

Telecommunication and computer technology has been taken to new heights in recent years and as a result, surprising opportunities to reduce operating costs and environmental impacts have emerged. Unfortunately most corporate work programs have not kept pace. The traditional model for administrative workspace often requires excessive amounts of office space, support equipment and a drain on your most important resource: employees

This session will teach you:

	Practical steps to setting up a workplace management program
	Strategies for overcoming barriers to these programs
	How to calculate the initial costs and expected returns
	How to facilitate the cultural and behavior changes needed for long-term success
	How to develop metrics for cost savings, energy reduction, and improved productivity

What are Workplace Management Programs?
Workplace management programs are alternative office-designs which consider how people, places and tools interact to support business goals. These programs utilize practices such as teleworking, flexible hours and efficient office space designs that encourage creativity and collaboration between employees.

Key Business Benefits:

• Reduced workforce support costs
• Opportunity to address strategic business goals
• Ability to quickly adjust to changing work force requirements
• Allow employees to work wherever and whenever they can be most effective

This webinar will highlight examples of how creative workplace programs can be utilized in ways that benefit both:

• The employer, through reduced GHG emissions, reduced real estate costs and increased worker productivity and retention
• The employees, through greater personal flexibility and increased quality of life

Who Should Attend?

• Facilities Management, Human Resources, Information Technology and EHS and Sustainability professionals
• Anyone concerned about leasing and operating costs
• Managers interested in increasing productivity and employee satisfaction
• Anyone who has ever wondered, “Is there a better way to set up the office?”
