International symposium "Cultural Diversity at Work - Safe and Healthy Integration of Skilled Workers”

27 – 29 May, 2024

in Dresden, Germany

What does safe and healthy cooperation look like in a culturally diverse workplace? The interaction between migration and occupational health and safety will be the focus of the international symposium "Cultural Diversity at Work - Safe and Healthy Integration of Skilled Workers," to be held 27-29 May, 2024, in Dresden (Germany) in a hybrid format.

In a diverse world of work, companies looking for skilled workers are facing the challenge of onboarding employees with a migration background in a safe and healthy way.

What challenges do they and their employees face in this regard, and how can the accident insurance institutions' prevention work help?

Other questions to be discussed at the symposium include:

  • How can workplaces be made safe and healthy despite language barriers?
  • What does healthy leadership look like in a culturally diverse workplace?
  • How does cultural diversity at work contribute to a culture of prevention?

The international symposium is organized by the ISSA Sections on Prevention in Health Services and Transportation. For questions, please reach out to us at secretariat(at)issa-transportation.org.
