TORONTO, Jan. 25, 2017 /CNW/ - No one can deny that the workplace has changed dramatically in the last decade.  The prevalence of mobile devices, ubiquitous internet access, telecommuting and working remotely have arguably improved productivity, but the human side of the equation must not be overlooked – work-life balance, corporate culture and mental wellness continue to be organizational priorities.  The New Workplace – this year's theme – will be explored in depth at Partners in Prevention 2017, Canada's largest and longest-running health and safety conference and trade show.
