Sustainable HRM and Working-Life Practices Conference 2024

The conference explores the conditions, circumstances, and practices that create sustainable and healthy workplaces and organizations with the potential to attract, retain, and motivate today's and tomorrow's workforce. How can organizations meet the demands and expectations of the younger generation while also encouraging older employees to stay and contribute with their productivity? Are new practices needed, and if so, what should they look like? These questions are numerous and complex, which is why we invite researchers from various disciplines with different methodological and theoretical approaches to participate in this exciting and important discussion.
