Health And Well Being

This chapter concerns the link between work hours and the incidence of sickness and injuries. The existence of such a link has been demonstrated by a large number of investigators. The relation is not restricted to manual workers doing physically taxing work. White-collar workers tend also to experience stress and adverse health effects from longer work hours. Studies that follow the same workers over time are especially useful. Investigations have been made for a wide range of occupations and for nationally representative populations. Not only may a worker be so affected, but also the well-being of the worker’s household may suffer.

Training And Support

Much of the research on mobile communication has been cross-sectional, focused on a single organization at one point in time. White-collar workers are the ones most often studied because they pioneered the use of mobile devices. When they first hear about this research, they’re shocked to learn that everyone doesn’t communicate like they do. People from all backgrounds should realize that their own assumptions can blind them to understanding and being compassionate about differences. It might be a violation of others’ hopes for a colleague or friend to be unreachable during work hours, but people must learn how to have conversations that re-set expectations and allow them to take control over their own time. Finally, armed with this information, human resources and information technology professionals can design BYOD policies that provide the training and support to allow all types of workers to use mobile devices productively.

This paper presents a methodology for developing work environments for white–collar workers based on an analysis of their high value work activities and environmental needs. The methodology utilizes user–oriented data collection techniaues such as structured group meetings and interviews to reduce the need for extensive task analyses, A pilot study was conducted with a group of Computer Systems Analysts, User Support Specialists, and consultants using this methodology. The results of an evaluation program that measured changes brought about by the design are discussed. Benefits realized from the design include improved ability to concentrate, decreased pain/stiffness in extremities, more efficient workplace layout, reduced distractions and increased user satisfaction.
