Treadmill desks. Bouncy ball chairs. Tablets on public transit. Wifi on airplanes. Our workplace is more mobile than ever, and our work life is rarely confined or stationary. Instead, it’s stuffed into the bags on our shoulders or sitting next to us in the passenger seat—along with our laptops, tablets, smartphones, gym gear, reading glasses, sunglasses, a back-up battery and a chicken salad sandwich (that should really be refrigerated, like, immediately).
Today’s workplace looks remarkably different.
That’s why Travelers Insurance is taking a fresh look at how the modern workplace is evolving for so many small businesses around the country, and what business owners can do to mitigate the risk these trends and employee expectations may bring. We call it Workplace 2.0, a new way of recognizing and thinking about risk in the work environment of today.
