Thinking global

When Johnson & Johnson decided to move its Global Services division North American headquarters to Tampa from New Jersey, where the company was formed in 1886, it wasn't just packing up a department and relocating it.

Instead, the health care and consumer products company best known for Tylenol and Band-Aid bandages, was creating a new business model aimed at attracting and retaining younger workers.

Even so, the shift was a logistical challenge that took more than two years to accomplish. Once a site was selected, more than 500 local construction workers logged more than 93,000 hours.
