Think Outside the Building

a picnic table under some trees. Will help encourage creativity by getting them
out of the office, will stay focused and refreshed since they are out in the
fresh air. Added cost benefit: Picnic tables cost much less than conference
tables! You can add square footage to a cramped office space by encouraging
employees to utilize the beautiful surroundings.

| Smoke-Free Workplace

Everyone benefits when the air is cleared of secondhand smoke – even smokers,
some of whom will quit or at least cut back. In a smoke-free workplace, workers
become healthier. Healthier workers miss less work, are more productive and
have lower health care costs.
