In today’s dynamic workforce, we find ourselves navigating the challenge of ensuring the health and safety of diverse groups of people. There are five generations of workers in the workforce today, all with their own needs, challenges and offerings. This discussion will explore the challenges of a “one-size” fits all approach to OSH and some of the innovative strategies and solutions implemented around the world.  

The scope of the true challenge of a multi-generational workforce is often understated. We’re simultaneously facing unique challenges of technology impacting each generation, how to accommodate for an ageing workforce, and the devastating consequences of high injury rates amongst our young workers. This discussion will dig into challenges such as the differing needs of young nurse or construction workers compared to their elder counterparts, and the range of strategies across the world to maximise the benefits offered by each generation whilst ensuring we are taking care of our dynamic workforce.  

Join this symposium to learn about the breadth of OSH risks and opportunities resulting from an inter-generational workforce. Delve into the differences between the generations and how to empower all workers using fit-for-purpose safety strategies.
