Age with Attitude in Organisations

No longer the ‘ending’ of a career, retirement is now considered to be a ‘new beginning’. And those organisations that help their employees plan for life after 60 have much to gain from supporting them in this transitional phase of their life.

The Age with Attitude programme makes it easy for organisations to deliver a comprehensive retirement planning package to their employees, covering 6 important life arenas. By offering this programme in your organisation you can:

• Strengthen your existing recruitment and retention strategies

• Develop a better understanding of the needs and aspirations of your mature workforce and the potential for utilising their knowledge and skills after ‘retirement’

• Retain over 60’s in part time, contingency or mentoring positions. These individuals will often show strong loyalty, make less mistakes, possess superior people skills and intellectual property.

• Reduce the anxiety and uncertainty for people approaching retirement, making them more productive

• Actively address any skill or talent shortage that may exist in your industry

• Further align your organisation with the new legislation on flexible work hours

• Strengthen your efforts to be an employer of choice

• Demonstrate that you value your people

Consider the facts:

• currently 12% of the population is over 65....by 2021 this will have increased to 17% and by 2051 26% of the population will be aged 65 plus.

• Life expectancy has increased by 30 years over the last 90

• the growth in the labour market is quickly decreasing - from 38% 1975-2000, to 14% 2000-2025  and to minus 4% to 2050....

• the same patterns are happening all over the world so importing skilled workers won't be an option....
