Supporting Healthy Ageing at Work (SHAW): A Snapshot of Distributed Co-Design with Workers Aged 50+

Overview

Supporting Healthy Ageing at Work (SHAW) is a 3-year, interdisciplinary, mixed-methods research project based in the UK. We are working with employers, employees, professional bodies, and other key stakeholders to deepen our understanding of how work and health are intertwined in older workers’ everyday lives. The aim of the study is to design innovative workplace interventions to support the health and wellbeing of older workers (aged 50+).  
 
We are partnering with case study organisations in the finance, manufacturing, and social care sectors and a group of self-employed workers. We are working with employees aged 50+ in these organisations to explore the sorts of health issues that they face. 
 
In this poster we illustrate a ‘snapshot’ of our distributed co-design process, providing details of some of the design research activities that we have conducted so far. These include several design activities (or ‘probes’) and early workplace intervention concepts.
