by Rebecca Walker — December 30, 2009—As we spend increasing amounts of time seated in a chair in front of our computer workstation, we need to be aware of how the design and arrangement of our office equipment can impact our comfort, health and productivity.

ALISON courses allow tutors to manage groups of learners at no cost through the ALISON Manager application, a feature sure to be of particular interest to many small- and medium-sized enterprises, according to the company. ALISON Manager [NEEL: LINK TO: http://alison.com/manage] allows organizations to monitor the participation and the progress of course participants, providing a valuable tool in assisting organizations to meet their health and safety legislative obligations.
