In the retirement living industry, the focus is often on property and people, but there is a growing recognition of the importance of robust discussions around procedures, processes, and practices.
Australian demographer Simon Kuestenmacher emphasises the need to focus on technology as a key tool to meet the challenges brought by the 2030 population changes. The upcoming challenges include meeting consumer expectations, providing vital data for decision-making, streamlining and automating repetitive tasks, upskilling new starters, and meeting workforce expectations.
