This paper outlines the rationale and methodology for an international comparative project investigating the links between workplace productivity and employee wellness and well being via the operation of representative employee participation structures in Denmark and New Zealand. It will define and discuss the often contentious terms of productivity, wellbeing and participation and how employee participation and wellbeing and the work environment impact on productivity. This paper employs a multi-dimensional theoretical framework and will assess the significance of the issues examined: analyse the impact of employment practices and quality of the work environment on productivity: and as a result present the methodology developed for the project.

Demographic changes are significantly impacting labor availability within the hospitality industry. Older persons are being considered as a labor resource in spite of myths associated with older workers. Although older persons can enhance the work force, their participation is not without a price. Considerable modification of the work environment, employment practices and policies, and retirement policies will be required. The implementation of innovative part-time schedules, creation of a work environment free from age bias, and development of comprehensive benefit packages for part-time employees are key factors for effective employment of older persons.
