Abstract

The physical work environment has a significant and often unrealised impact on the experience of work and on employee/personal well-being, which in turn has implications for organisations, including the recruitment and retention of staff. With staff absenteeism and turnover representing leading challenges among today’s healthcare organisations, this chapter argues that the design of the physical work environment needs to be considered in attempts to address some of the human resource issues in healthcare.
