WORKFORCE: Working Longer: New Strategies for Managing, Training and Recruiting Older Employees

Overview:

America, and indeed the world, faces an employment crisis because of changing demographics. As is well known, millions in the Baby Boom generation are now eligible to retire--or soon will be. This will create a global talent crisis, which has prompted many organizations to launch succession planning or talent management programs.

But, ironically, although their retirement may cause the talent shortage Baby Boomers may also be the solution to the problem-if they remain in, or return to, the workforce. If employers and individuals alike would revisit their notions of retirement and their stereotypes of older workers, then it might be possible to recruit, retain, and develop or train older workers more effectively. Such a reassessment of talent could meet the needs of employers and individuals alike.
