Living Longer, Working Smarter: How Extended Life is Redefining Work
More people are working longer, traditional notions of retirement are changing and
we spend most of our waking hours at our jobs. How does our work environment
affect our longevity, and how does our longevity affect our work environment?
How are these changes impacting our health span, including our sense of purpose,
overall wellbeing and longevity? How will a shrinking demographic of younger
workers and a growing number of older workers disrupt work. How can we prepare
today for opportunities tomorrow?
