Aging Workforce - Exoskeleton instead of exit - Why modern technology is the better retirement plan
Every year, around 400,000 people leave the labor market, which is equivalent to a city like Duisburg. The blue-collar sector in logistics, where many baby boomers work, is particularly affected. With their wealth of experience, they are indispensable. Instead of simply letting them go, we should think about how we can keep them in work for longer. Ergonomic aids, relieving technologies and flexible working models can help. Experience cannot be replaced, but we can preserve it through targeted measures. The session will provide exciting solutions and creative suggestions for securing expertise so that everyone benefits - employees, companies and Germany as a business location.
