Bringing together thought leaders and expert speakers on the changing nature of work, the British Safety Council, is hosting a one-day conference in Bristol, at the Bristol Marriott City Centre Hotel, on 24 May 2018. It will examine how work is changing and what can be done to keep workers healthy and the economy productive.
The event is inspired by the Future risk: Impact of work on health, safety and wellbeing report commissioned by the British Safety Council from Robertson Cooper, which focuses on the risks for employee safety and wellbeing of developments such as automation, the ‘any time any place’ work, impact of modern communication technologies and ‘flexible’ employment contracts.
Matthew Holder, Head of Campaigns at the British Safety Council, said: “The world of work it is rapidly changing, bringing about both opportunities and considerable risks not only to businesses, the economy and the environment but also to wellbeing, health and safety of employees. It’s imperative that employers gain an understanding of what’s in store and take a strategic view on how to deal with these challenges.
“The conference speakers, leading experts in their fields, will examine these issues from their unique perspectives and open the forum for discussion, sharing of experiences and best practice. This should help the event participants to develop their own strategies and solutions for the future, enabling their companies to retain healthy and high-performing employees.”
