VISCHER, Jacqueline C. and MALKOSKI, Keti (2015) 

The Power of Workspace for Business and People,  Australia: Schiavello.

 

Published by Schiavello in Australia, this book explains why workplace change management, and 'co-creation' with employee participation, is an imperative component of a new workspace outcome.

 

Highlighting numerous real life examples of how companies and employers have made the ‘right’ workspace decisions, this book invites workspace users — employees and teams — to participate in the process by using their feedback constructively to help create innovative and thoughtful designs that meet employees’ needs and support their work.
