In an ever-changing business landscape, it is increasingly clear that workplace safety and health (WSH) can no longer be an afterthought for business leaders. Beyond moral and regulatory considerations, WSH plays a pivotal role in ensuring business sustainability and a paradigm shift is required to recognise WSH as the cornerstone of business operations.
In addition to ensuring the safety and well-being of their people, organisations face increasing pressure from investors and customers to minimise their environmental footprint and enhance operational efficiency. Consequently, there is a growing emphasis on sustainability objectives and the significance of environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) reporting. Companies are realising that excelling in WSH while demonstrating a strong commitment to ESG can provide a competitive edge.
Moving in tandem, the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) and automation is opening up new opportunities for businesses, the economy, and society at large. These technologies are set to revolutionise the way we work and the environment we work in, necessitating a redesign of work processes to ensure a safe and efficient collaboration between humans and machines.
A safe and healthy workforce means a more productive workforce. How do businesses leverage ESG-oriented WSH policies, coupled with the AI and automation revolution, for long-term sustainability and viability? What does the future of work look like in the face of rapid technological advancements and a more socially diverse workforce?
