FEBRUARY 2020HR TECH OUTLOOK6Workplaces are transforming. With boomers retiring and millennials climbing up the corporate ladder, the internal structure of companies is underway a major change. Evidently, workplaces are becoming more flexible, with an emphasis on worker health and safety as well as satisfaction. We have walked long miles since occupational health and safety (OHS) has entered the purview of the industries, empowering leaders to ensure health and safety in the workplace and, in turn, better employee engagement and retention. Naturally, having stepped into a new decade of the 21st century, it would be too clichéd to once again brief the readers about the "whys" and "whats" of the subject. Safety professionals in the workplace are adopting a holistic approach to health, along with maintaining a proactive outlook to rise to the challenges in this space. What started with the basic health insurance coverage, in most advanced companies, is now also allowing leaders to introduce holistic health benefits for their employees that would count not only on financial but social, emotional, and environmental dimensions of health. From improving the employees' sleep to keeping them de-stressed, companies are investing further in innovation to augment employee productivity.Upon embarking on the journey of 2020, just like the New Year's resolutions, the internet is flooded with many such new trends and forecasts on varied industries and verticals, including OHS. Experts opine that in today's day and age, healthcare professionals must be able to deliver fast and swift treatment, and thereby, are considering the importance of a dedicated Occupational Onsite Physiotherapist to observe the workforce and understand their needs. Companies are also having an increased focus on the aging workforce. With mental health attaining equal importance as physical health, service providers are increasingly inclined toward introducing comprehensive services in companies that pertain to psychological wellness. By leveraging technologies like virtual reality and mobile applications, various enterprises have started delivering advanced safety and health training to new-age employees. In the forthcoming days, these companies and their leaders are expected to usher in more advanced solutions that would take better care of the employees.A Holistic Approach to OHSHanna WilsonManaging Editoreditor@hrtechoutlook.comManaging EditorHanna WilsonEditorial StaffSalesAaron PierceAva Garcia Philo VazRussell ThomasVisualizersChris LynnCalvin JamesEditor's NoteRichard Watsonrichard@hrtechoutlook.comCopyright © 2019 ValleyMedia, Inc.
