Use of a COLON?
The sentence I’m trying to determine whether I need a colon or not is:
"Marc, your Final Product touches on key points that are constantly in many managers’ minds throughout the business world, such as: workplace productivity and workers’ health."
I think there needs to be a colon between "as" and "workplace" because the second ("workplace productivity and workers’ health") clause further explains the first one. What do you guys think? Colon or no colon?
Actually, you don’t need a colon unless you drop the "such as". Colons are usually used when listing more than one thing, so I would probably go for Option 2 since you are only listing 2 things.
Option 1
Marc, your Final Product touches on key points that are constantly in many managers’ minds throughout the business world: workplace productivity and workers’ health.
Option 2
Marc, your Final Product touches on key points that are constantly in many managers’ minds throughout the business world, such as workplace productivity and workers’ health."
