Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present the importance of a healthy working environment and approaches to establish a healthy working environment of older employees and their impact on work engagement of older employees. The working environment that is not suitable and adapted for older employees presents a big challenge for Slovenian and other companies in which the work force is getting older. Hence, this paper develops a model of a healthy working environment for older employees, in which they could feel well because of its positive affect on their health. Design/methodology/approach The research method in this paper was the descriptive-correlative type. After a systematic review of literature, which relates to this topic, the authors used the compilation method. In addition to descriptive statistics, factor analysis and regression analysis were used in this paper. Findings Considering the demographic changes and active ageing in the workplace, age diversity of employees has to become a part of the general strategy of a company to ensure equality and diversity. Adequate working conditions, which should exist in every company, contribute to the improvement of healthy working environment for older employees and their work-engagement. This paper presents that approaches to establish a healthy working environment of older employees have a positive impact on work-engagement of older employees. Practical implications The stated findings will help companies to better understand and manage their older employees and the importance of establishing a healthy working environment for older employees with which the work-engagement of older employees can be improved. Socially responsible behavior benefits all in this way, too. Originality/value This paper is based on forming a research model for creating a healthy working environment for older employees as a part of social responsibility. The main objective of this paper is to examine the impact of establishment of a healthy working environment for older employees on the work engagement of older employees in Slovenia.

“…Occupational accidents are a multidimensional problem with many variables that can be predictive of yet other variables, such as health, satisfaction, and absenteeism (Amponsah-Tawiah & Mensah, 2016;Drakopoulos & Theodossiou, 2016;Šarotar Žižek & Mulej, 2016;Thurston & Glendon, 2018;Tomás et al, 1999). Thus, accident occurrence is the result of a complex web of interrelated personal/behavioral factors (Airagnes et al, 2018;Cheung, 2014;Gembalska-kwiecień, 2017;Rakhshandehroo et al, 2015;Sakina & Omar, 2018), organizational factors (Eskandari et al, 2017;Muchiri et al, 2019;Sawhney & Cigularov, 2018;Thurston & Glendon, 2018;Yilmaz & Tosun, 2018), and work/task factors (Mullen et al, 2017;Sawhney & Cigularov, 2018;Sheikhalishahi et al, 2017;Yilmaz & Tosun, 2018).…”

Occupational accidents are a public health problem; therefore, it is necessary to conduct research that contributes to accident prevention and health promotion. To this end, this study aimed to investigate the main factors influencing work accidents at an electric power company. A survey of 1,027 in-house and outsourced employees of a large electric utility was conducted. The participants included injured and non-injured professionals. Organizational, personal/behavioral, and work/task factors were found to have statistically significant effects on work accident occurrence. As an academic and managerial contribution, the identification of the main factors that influence work accidents in the electric sector favors the development of strategies and actions for its control and mitigation.
