Categories of employment and unemployment patterns in the Sunshine Coast Labour Market: a regional study. The aim of this project is to provide information on how a local labour market (LLM) works. It will be the first such Australian study to look at marginally attached workers and atypical employment, both of which are increasing segments in the Australian labour market. The outcomes will provide strategic input for the industry partners in policy reviews of education and training programs, ....Categories of employment and unemployment patterns in the Sunshine Coast Labour Market: a regional study. The aim of this project is to provide information on how a local labour market (LLM) works. It will be the first such Australian study to look at marginally attached workers and atypical employment, both of which are increasing segments in the Australian labour market. The outcomes will provide strategic input for the industry partners in policy reviews of education and training programs, adjustments to changing employment circumstances, and regulation of employment. The study is innovative in design as it explores a social capital dimension of labour market behaviour.Read moreRead less
Improving workplace productivity via an AI-based physical activity chatbot . This project aims to develop, train and evaluate a physical activity chatbot using artificial intelligence and machine learning to improve workplace productivity in sedentary office workers. Productivity losses, due to high numbers of physically inactive workers, cost the Australian economy $14 billion per year. The cost of effective and scalable workplace physical activity programs acts as a barrier to their implementa ....Improving workplace productivity via an AI-based physical activity chatbot . This project aims to develop, train and evaluate a physical activity chatbot using artificial intelligence and machine learning to improve workplace productivity in sedentary office workers. Productivity losses, due to high numbers of physically inactive workers, cost the Australian economy $14 billion per year. The cost of effective and scalable workplace physical activity programs acts as a barrier to their implementation. As such, innovative programs that can reach large numbers of workers at minimal cost are needed. This project aims to generate new knowledge on the use of artificial intelligence to achieve behavioural improvements and will lead to the development of a new type of behaviour change program with broad applicability.
