Building Community in Buildings 2007, English.
Early in her career, Jana Kemp noticed that three-story buildings produced more creativity and workplace camaraderie than buildings four or more stories. For over a decade she observed client sites, collected stories and now shares the good, the bad and the possible-for-your-space strategies. Teamed with Ken Baker, a LEED certified green-building and energy-efficiency consultant, this book presents the HRD(2) approach to building buildings that are as efficient for constructing and maintaining as they are for people to work creatively and productively in.
Building and workplace examples are drawn from around the globe. Pictures, surveys, and implementation strategies are included in the book. CEOs, executives, managers, human resource professionals and business owners alike can gain insights for creating human responsive workplaces. Retail: $49.95
