IWH’s latest annual report highlights research on both emerging and longstanding issues
Researchers at the Institute for Work & Health look across time as they do their work. They keep an eye on potential threats and opportunities in the future of work, without losing sight of the longstanding and emerging challenges that continue to put the lives and health of workers at risk today. The 2021/22 Annual Report, now out, highlights the projects conducted by IWH researchers during the 2021-22 fiscal year (and since then) and the innovations they are bringing to address work and health challenges, whether they are newer, persistent or yet to come.
