Healthy aging
“We all get older, it’s about us” (Colin Millner, International Council on Active Aging (ICAA)). An ageing workforce represents a potential rather than a burden. We need a work environment that takes the different physical and mental age of the individuals into account, supports active and healthy ageing during working-live, facilitates synergy between the generations, compensates age-related deficits by technical devices or medical improvements, and copes with the error-proneness of humans, e.g., by an error-learning culture.
