The connection between employee well-being and business performance is real, and COVID-19 reminded us that poor mental health is a hazard that health and safety professionals need to manage in addition to the traditional ones (chemical, biological, and physical). Simply put, work impacts our health. In the future, measures to improve employee safety and health will need to go beyond physical, organizational, and even psychological factors. Social, economic, political, and economic trends, like technology, climate change, and globalization, affect workers’ experiences too. During this 60-minute webinar, we took a deep dive into the CDC/NIOSH Future of Work Initiative which established nine topics of focus.
