Abstract

With the ageing of population, healthy, safe and pleasant workspaces can be useful to nudge joyful and active ageing, instead of coercive actions to force people not to retire. Embracing this vision, the Indoor Quality & Ergonomics Lab (Dip. ABC - Politecnico di Milano) is engaged in research and dissemination on friendly workplace design, for all ages, with contributions from Ergonomics and Design for All. Design, knowingly or not, has always influenced user behaviour, playing a key role in improving decisions about Health, Safety, and Happiness. Ergonomics makes this process aware and offers method and tools to optimize interactions between people, organizations and environments. With the aim of spreading culture and tools for all ages friendly workplaces to design and management professionals, as well as to the academic world, a framework is constructed as basis for planning of training interventions, and a pilot course is designed, both reported in this paper.
