DOWNLOAD EBOOK →This book discusses the realities of the aging workforce from the points of view of both the organization/manager and the older employee's point of view. It examines the broad demographic trends that are changing the makeup of organizations, and then suggests specific approaches for managers to adopt in order to ensure that older employees are engaged and challenged while contributing to the company's bottom line. Topics covered include: what motivates older workers, the impact of technology on older worker training, and career trends in the health, education, and retail sectors. Real-life examples of multi-generational work teams at such organizations as AES Corporation and the U.S. Coast Guard are profiled, and checklists and other interactive and diagnostic elements are provided to assist managers.
