Herzberg's hygiene & motivation theory
Herzberg's Motivation-Hygiene Theory, also known as the Two Factor Theory, proposes that there are hygiene factors and motivation factors that influence employee satisfaction and motivation. Hygiene factors like company policy, supervision, and salary prevent dissatisfaction but do not motivate, while motivation factors like achievement, recognition, and responsibility lead to job satisfaction. Improving motivators increases satisfaction while improving hygienes only decreases dissatisfaction. For management, it implies continuously challenging employees at their ability level and automating or replacing those whose abilities are not fully utilized.

Eureka forbesob_herzberg theory motivation
Frederick Herzberg developed a theory that identified two factors that influence job satisfaction and motivation - motivators and hygiene factors. Motivators such as achievement, recognition, and growth can positively impact satisfaction whereas hygiene factors like company policies and salary only prevent dissatisfaction if adequately addressed. However, Herzberg's theory has been criticized for its methodology and for not considering situational variables. To improve motivation, companies should focus on job enrichment by giving employees more responsibility and opportunities to utilize their abilities.

Introduction
Workplace environment of an employee is the most significant contributing factor in their productivity level and the quality of work done by them. The manner in which employees are engaged in a workplace affects their desire of learning the skills and their motivation level to perform (Antonsson&Hasle, 2015). Motivation level and skills afterward become the influencing factor for output rate, the rate of error, collaboration with others, innovation level, absenteeism, and service length of an employee. In this regard, this paper is an attempt to gather a detailed understanding of the level of importance of workplace environment in the corporate culture and its effectiveness on the productivity of the employees. In order to achieve this aim of the paper, the following paper will focus on identification of the opportunity areas in the existing scene of workplace environment that can be improvised in order to achieve increased productivity. This will be achieved with the help of studying various empirical researchers into this field. Further, the paper will also emphasize on providing some recommendations for improving the opportunity areas where efforts can be made in the direction of making the workplace environment an optimum place for maximizing the productivity while maintaining the employee satisfaction.Identification of Opportunity Areas in Workplace Environment to Increase Productivity
In order to receive the optimized output from their most valuable asset, their people, all the businesses tend to go an extra mile in making the efforts for maintaining the employee satisfaction at the workplace. These efforts can either be tangible in the form of offering cars, money, or lavish gifts as rewards to the employees for maintaining the productivity and loyalty or can be intangible by applying more creative approach to the same formula that is in the form of providing an environment found to be the most comfortable one as an employees of any organization. It has been observed that the employees’ productivity and their morale is directly related to the working environment, so organizations need to provide a workplace conducive enough for the workforce welfare in the form of their comfort, safety, health, and happiness (Ruostela et al., 2015).
The varying measures are suggested based on the type of the industry and nature of work being carried out by its workforce. Although the needs of office-based employees and manual workers will be different, for instance, an employee doing physical labor in a warehouse or the one working late at a reputed corporate firm, both of them will appreciate a place to take the break and have some rest. On this basis, four major opportunity areas have been identified as the key areas which can ...

User experiences of a sitstand workstation brendan henderson
This document discusses a study on user experiences with sit-stand workstations. It finds that while most current users believe there are health benefits to alternating between sitting and standing, sit-stand workstations are not without issues and may not be suitable for all tasks or individuals. Ceased users often stopped using their workstations due to usability problems like a loss of workspace. The study advocates for a balanced, systematic approach to implementing sit-stand workstations that considers individual needs and ensures a comfortable workspace.
Occupational Stress
This document discusses occupational stress, including its definition, causes, and effects. It defines occupational stress as the response people have when work demands exceed their abilities and challenge their ability to cope. Common causes of stress include shift work, downsizing, workload pressure, and harassment. Early symptoms of stress include physical issues like headaches as well as psychological impacts like anxiety. If exposure to stressors continues over time, it can lead to serious health problems like heart disease. The document also notes that stress affects women more than men due to dual responsibilities and gender discrimination in the workplace. It provides recommendations for managing stress at both the individual level through lifestyle changes and at the organizational level through improved work conditions and employee support.

Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).

Novas diretrizes da OMS para os cuidados perinatais de mais qualidade
Novas diretrizes da OMS para os cuidados perinatais de mais qualidadeProf. Marcus Renato de Carvalho
Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.
Esta publicação só está disponível em inglês até o momento.
