Description: Employees in today’s workforce vary in many ways, including job experience, age, and body size. Some of these differences have become even more prominent just in the past decade.

It will describe recent trends, the impact of these traits on the workplace, and both short- and long-term ergonomics-based solutions to keep these, and all other, employees safe and healthy.
