As 21st-century companies realize they'll need to be green to compete, sustainable ideas are spreading like wildfire throughout all fields of#xA0;modern business. In The Green Workplace, Leigh Stringer, an expert on sustainable workplace design and strategy,#xA0;shows companies on the cusp of radically transforming their#xA0;practices how to bring together diverse teams and establish new organizational governance for creative problem-solving in greening their workplace. Her hands-on green strategies are based on concrete and cost-effective changes such as: - working from home - ways to cut commuting costs - video conferencing to cut down on travel#xA0; - increasing access to natural light to save energy - and more. Stringer explains how#xA0;managers can implement these changes smoothly and efficiently. In solving key problems, she shows companies how a green business reduces costs, increases productivity, improves recruiting and retention, and increases shareholder value, in addition to benefiting the environment.
