About the Forum

A Canadian initiative focused on the changing world of work.

The Canadian Forum on Workplace Innovation looks across workforce capacity, technology, work design and human performance to understand how broader changes are affecting organizations and the people doing the work.

The Forum develops practical insights, supports focused practitioner exchange and explores opportunities to move promising ideas from evidence into application.

Rather than treating labour-market change, technology, safety, productivity and workplace design as separate conversations, the Forum examines how they interact and what those connections mean in practice.
