Occupational Health & Safety is undergoing a profound transformation, bringing to the forefront the urgent need for a culture shift and a renewed focus on prevention. In a recent special feature by HR Professional magazine, GEP executives highlight Health & Safety as a strategic priority and explore how technology and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are reshaping the future of workplace safety and employee wellbeing.
Konstantinos Rouganakis, Operations Director at GEP, opens the feature by emphasizing how the rise of remote and hybrid work is radically changing the approach to employee health. With a focus on ergonomics, mental wellbeing, and integrated safety solutions, he notes that new technologies and AI are driving the creation of smarter, more resilient workplaces—while HR plays a pivotal role in managing this transition.
