Protecting Workers & Productivity in a Changing Climate
Our third and final event in the series will examine the impact of climate change on workers and productivity. How might rising temperatures, extreme weather, and other climate-related factors affect workforce health and safety and performance? Why aren’t more businesses taking action to protect their employees, and what practical solutions exist to address these challenges? We will explore case studies and best practices that can help businesses adapt while maintaining productivity and employee well-being.
