They stimulate and encourage the creativity and innovation of individuals and teams whilst performing intensive computing tasks and ensure their safety, health and well-being. Knowing how to use these new, flexible workspaces effectively is also critical for employee safety and performance. This panel discusses several issues regarding new ways of working for and with employees who intensively use computer technology and mobile devices. Panelists will present different viewpoints and perspectives on how the field of ergonomics, human computer interaction and training needs proactive consideration in designing workspaces for support of new ways of working with information computer technologies and mobile devices.
