Webinar: Ergonomics for Differently Abled Workers

Philadelphia, PA

Webinar

Demographic shifts in aging, workplace innovations addressing the barriers of disability, and globalization demands are just some of the factors changing the workforce as we know it. And with the anticipated needs of the changing workforce, a focus is needed on the processes and products that aim to improve productivity and reduce injuries not only within today’s workplace, but also in tomorrow's. Inclusive ergonomics strives to assess and accommodate diversity among workers, for the purposes of improving the workplace for all. In this webinar, Dr. Feathers will review cognitive and physical ergonomics, with an emphasis on inclusive ergonomic accommodations for persons with physical differences in ability. Through industry examples, you’ll discover how accommodations for differently abled workers can benefit all workers. You’ll learn: - Current and future trends in workforce diversity - How ergonomic accommodations can benefit all workers, including those that are differently-abled - How to create an inclusive ergonomic focus for iterative improvements at work
