March 2024 Episode Description:
With the aging population growing so rapidly and birth rates declining, many industries could face labor shortages. As many employers face a coming wave of baby-boomer retirements, the gaps in unique skills, experience, and institutional knowledge may be difficult to fill. Keeping mature workers engaged may help ensure your company retains the employee knowledge necessary to compete.
Going forward, successful workplaces will not only leverage mature workers' skills and institutional knowledge but also appeal to those whose talent they are looking to replace. And if younger workers are going to fill the shoes of those transitioning out of the workforce, they will rely on older generations to pass on their knowledge and expertise.
A more productive—and potentially more profitable—workplace requires meeting new employee expectations such as training to help them learn new skills and remain employable, flexibility to accommodate active lifestyles and child or eldercare, and collaboration to create a sense of community in the workplace.
