Workforce
The "Aging Workforce" intitiative
Daimler recognized early on the challenges posed by an aging workforce and integrated the “Aging Workforce” initiative into its human resources strategy in 2001. Through a holistic approach, the company aims to strengthen managers’ and employees’ sense of individual responsibility in order to enable long-term increases in productivity, despite future changes in the age structure of the workforce.
A variety of activities and measures were launched in 2006:
-
simulations aimed at analyzing age structures;
-
health management measures (such as the “Kraftwerk-Mobil” muscle training program);
-
ergonomic evaluations of new work systems in the planning phase and appropriate implementation of these systems according to ergonomic principles in the process installation phase.
