Europa skal tilpasse sig sin aldrende arbejdsstyrke

Efterhånden som kontinentets fødselsrater falder, og dets befolkning ældes, står de politiske beslutningstagere over for den presserende opgave at fastholde erfarne arbejdere og tilpasse arbejdspladserne til at imødekomme behovene hos en ældre befolkningsgruppe.

We need to boost motivation at work to ease Europe’s demographic headache

Motivated workers have higher levels of engagement, better health and are able to work longer.

The human factor in innovation

Companies are constantly competing for the next big thing in innovation – the next-generation 3D phone, the quantum computer, the virtual doctor. They fixate on technological breakthroughs and look for new business models. But innovation also needs systems, an organisational structure and people who work together. The human factor in innovation is often forgotten or neglected – the employees’ skills, their level of input, their autonomy in their jobs and the rewards they receive. Or do such factors really play any role in innovation?
