30 Canadian Occupational Safety | www.cos-mag.com The new workplace N o one can deny that the workplace has changed dramatically in the last decade. The prevalence of mobile devices, ubiquitous Internet access, telecommuting and working remotely have arguably improved productivity, but the human side of the equation must not be overlooked — work-life balance, corporate culture and mental wellness continue to be organizational priorities. Partners in Prevention, Canada's largest and longest-running health and safety conference and trade show, will be exploring "The New Workplace" — this year's theme — at the International Centre in Mississauga, Ont., from May 2 to 3. The conference features two days of celebrated keynote speakers, cutting-edge sessions, workshops and professional development courses. Also included is a busy trade show with over 410 booths highlighting the latest in market trends, workplace products and services, and interactive experiences for the health and safety professional.
