With an expected 11% decrease in our workforce in the next few years as the baby-boomers retire and the different expectations by our younger workers, organizations can no longer be indifferent to work-life issues. Employers can find ways to meet the needs of their employees while successfully meeting their organizational goals by creating a people-friendly work environment.

"Strategies for Reshaping the Workplace" offers a roadmap for change that is easily applied and one that includes many low-cost, no-cost options. Businesses concerned about remaining competitive in the looming skill shortage will find this publication a valuable handbook that provides the keys to employee attraction and retention, increased productivity and improved customer satisfaction.
