How longer life spans may change the workplace of tomorrow

Three free meals a day and unlimited snacks. On-site health clinics and complimentary personal fitness classes. Game rooms and nap pods. While definitely not the norm, these are the types of workplace amenities that routinely get mentioned in profiles of great places to work.

As a result, employers today are constantly challenged to enhance their workplace environment in order to both create better work-life balance for their employees and also keep up with the competition. After all, the more options a company can provide to maintain happy and healthy employees, the more productive and loyal those employees will likely be.
