The Changing Workplace of the 1920s:
In the 1920s, productivity and efficiency were the watchwords of industry and the workplace dramatically. Managers looked to more efficient machinery and personnel management methods to increase productivity. Employment practices were formalized and women increasingly entered the workforce, especially in office settings. Changes in the workplace sometimes led to worker discontent. Wary of unions and political activism, managers hoped to encourage company loyalty and instill positive work habits by using work incentive posters. |
