Future of work: What is it?

There’s a rise in the number of workers who are retiring early, switching jobs, starting their own business, choosing hybrid work opportunities, and changing professions. Employees today are more likely to leave their current employer for one that has wellbeing initiatives that provides better work-life balance. Additionally, as the workforce ages in developed countries, older workers will need reskilling or upskilling to keep pace with a technologically evolving workplace. This will have a greater impact on EHS risk and management strategies for this demographic. Organizations will need to position themselves as leaders in health, safety, and well-being by adopting and implementing meaningful HSW programs and initiatives to attract and retain top talent.

Educating and preparing employees and EHS professionals for the workplace of the future will be a challenge: they must be data-literate; understand and accept advanced computer systems including AI, machine learning, robotics; wearable technology, programming bias, and EHS risks.
