Keeping the ageing workforce healthy
Recommend on Google+
If we are all to work until our late 60’s, or beyond, how much will the workplace need to be adapted to ensure that older workers can continue to contribute fully to the bottom line of their employers profits? The World at One today carried a 4-minute report from a BMW factory in Germany where works councils, unions and employers are collaborating to ensure that the factory is a healthy place that allows employees of all ages to work at the optimum rate, without holding up the production line and with as little physical and psychological stress as possible.
Sadly I cannot find this as a stand-alone report on i-player. However, the full programme is available here for the next 7 days - this report starts 37 minutes into the programme.
