A New Look at the Way We Work: Strategies From NIOSH Total Worker Health® (Room Champagne 3-4)

The concept of work is being redefined faster than most workers can keep up. New technologies, novel exposures and rapidly evolving work demands arrive at a dizzying pace. New employment arrangements and global platforms for work are now the new normal. And work-associated threats to safety and well-being follow quickly behind. Today’s organizations require innovative, comprehensive strategies to better protect and promote the safety, health and well-being of their workers. Dr. Chosewood will examine the new way we work, unpack what we know about the tight link between work and health, and spur new dialogue on the future steps we must take to optimize work for today’s workforce and for the generations that follow.
