What will they think of next?

Recently, The Rehabilitation Specialists attended the Small Business Festival in Victoria. The festival provided an insightful and exciting perspective into the changing nature of way we think about work and the emerging industries of the next 20 years.

For us, we are always looking at innovative ways we can achieve positive outcomes for our stakeholders and support injured workers return to employment. The next 20 years will no doubt bring some challenges in Australia, with an ageing workforce and the inevitable trend to automate various labour skilled jobs. However, with those technological changes we will also see advances in workplace equipment and greater opportunities for injured workers to re-engage in the workforce.

When we think of technology such as hearing aids and Dragon voice activation software, and how they’ve helped employees with varying injuries and disabilities obtain work, we must smile and ask ourselves, what will they think of next?
