Roundtable: Labs, Offices & Generations: Evolving Models to Deal with the Ever-Changing Landscape
Occupational health needs aren’t one-size-fits-all. Lab workers face chemical exposure and repetitive strain, while office-based staff report increasing rates of stress, burnout, and ergonomic issues. Add to that the generational divide where younger employees expect psychological safety and flexibility, while older cohorts may prioritise privacy or legacy support systems.
More practical and highly interactive breakout roundtables where attendees can crowdsource solutions and share opinions around pre-assigned topic areas:
- Designing programs that appeal to Gen Z and Millennials, Gen X and Boomers
- Ergonomic strategies for both lab and hybrid office workers and “standardisation” of OH services incorporating site-specific needs
- Mental health and psychosocial support in high-pressure lab settings vs. office settings
Moderator Feedback & Audience Debate
Moderators will be assigned to each roundtable to facilitate discussion and collate the findings. Following the roundtable discussions, they will present back to the entire delegation and open wider audience debate.
