Recommendation

HR consultants Lisa Taylor and Fern Lebo discuss older workers in this research-based presentation. They say these employees offer a solution to firms that can’t find talent. Though this narrative seems most relevant to middle- and upper-class white-collar workers, today’s blue-collar and low-wage service workers are also working longer, so this advice fits any firm or industry. Despite some repetition and clichés such as “we live in uncertain times,” this thoughtful discussion of why firms should appreciate mature workers deserves attention, if only to remind you that modern workforce management means leveraging all talent.

Take-Aways

  • Companies face these challenges: the aging workforce, platform technology, AI and robotics, the gig economy and employees’ “career ownership.” 
  • Companies must address the drivers of ageism.
  • Whether your firm will win or lose in the talent revolution depends on what it does today.
